Reply #2: The history of the Democratic Party

[Voltaire]

does not leave me to believe that they will in any way do what is necessary to get this country out of the abyss. Even in yesterday's hearing, which I applaud them for having, there was too much of the same old same old "we can't do" kind of nonsense that they are so good at. Bold measures are necessary to revive this corpse that American Democracy has become. Dean would be hamstrung with a million little internecine battles within the party designed with the sole intent of neutralizing him rather than doing the work of saving this nation from evil. It might be tempting to try to work both sides of the street but if Dean took that Chairmanship he would rapidly and I mean rapidly find himself in a position of irrelevance.
