Our party has wasted all the political capital it once had due to Bush's incompetence
Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 04:51 PM by NJSecularist
It's pretty clear to me now, especially after looking at the latest polls. We are squandering all the political capital we once had at the start of this process. If a nominee was effectively selected on Super Tuesday or shortly after, one of our candidates could have used that political capital as momentum as we move towards November. Instead, it is being wasted on a bitter and divisive nomination battle between two candidates of the same party.

Will we throw away another election or will we ignore the signs that this bitter and divisive process is doing nothing but helping the Rethugs and John McLame?

1. Democrats have found ways to lose elections for decades!
This, apparently, is no exception.

2. That's the damn truth. I can't believe ya'll are on the verge of imploding again. Obama/Richardson
would wipe the floor with McCain.
