Question: What is the most important thing about the 2008 Election?

Answer: That the Democrats win the White House.

That prize has always been the most important thing. From day one. Whether the nominee was going to be the white woman, or the black man, or one of the white men.

Yet, some people who call themselves Democrats seem to have forgotten that imperative even though the rough and tumble of the primary season is past. Some Clinton supporters seem to still want to fight a war against Obama. Some Obama supporters seem to still want to fight a war against both Hillary and Bill.

My advice to both: Stop talking nonsense and wasting energy. Start thinking straight. The issue of whose side are you on is not a matter of Democrat versus Democrat. It's a matter of the Democratic Party against a party whose reign has produced a cesspool of ethical and financial corruption and incredible administrative incompetence in both domestic and foreign affairs.

There is a reason Bush's poll numbers have been so low for the last three years: He has lost the trust of the American people. There is a reason the Republican Party was battered in the November 2006 election. It lost the respect of the American people. There is a reason nearly 30 Republicans in the House and six in the Senate aren't running for re-election this year: They know the party's internal structure has collapsed from the moral rot of years of slash-and-burn politics.
