Reply #38: I agree that the Clintons...

...for a long time, have been at the epicenter of the Democratic party.

Don't you sense a big shift though? I think this campaign has politically
kneecapped the Clintons. They got their asses handed to them by the Kennedys
and other party stalwarts.

How many times did we hear that Dems were calling Bill Clinton to tell him to
knock off the dirty campaigning? He didn't listen, so they took matters into
their own hands. Kennedy's endorsement of Barack, was as much about Barack
as it was about the Clintons. Kennedy ripped to shreds their unfair arguments
about Obama--that he wasn't "ready on day one", that he "wasn't against the war
from the beginning", etc. Kennedy annihilated most of their talking points!

The Clintons run on intimidation and fear. For so long, everyone assumed she
would be the winner, and Dem insiders were afraid to go against the Hillary
machine--because they assumed she would be the next President. Well, the bully
can no longer hang that threat over their heads, and I think we're seeing a lot
of their "support" eroding. It was never deep support based on respect. It
was politically advantageous relationships based on fear and a go-along mentality.

Just my opinion...
