This Democratic Party primary season is fast becoming another exercise in how to snatch defeat from victory. The election cycle was served up on a platter for the Democrats to win the gold. Yet due to the infighting in the party, it once again is going to expose the carnival shell game that is the Democratic Party.

Hillary by all accounts was the annoited one before the primary season began. The expected Democratic Party flag bearer. She had eight years to get all her ducks in a row, with the deeply entrenched party organizations in the major states of NY, CA, MA, OH, PA, NV FL, TX and MI. All she lacked was a token opposition. Yet out of left field rides Obama, who throws his hat in the ring. Obama had the backing of the powerful Midwest faction of the Democratic Party known as the Chicago Mayor Daly Machine. Low and behold Obama trounces Hillary in white bread Iowa and now we have a viable contender for all those who have a distaste for the Clinton mystique. The Obama backers think Obama can carry the South for the first time in a (**#$ age and he is a made to order candidate for those upper middle class intellectual Democratic voters/supporters. Now all they have to do is nullify the middle, The Bubba Clinton voter class.

However losing isn't in the Clinton lexicon and Hillary ain't goin out until the fat lady sings and or a stake is driven through her heart. So it has become a slug fest that is stripping away the The bright shining hope that the Democratic Party wanted to present to the electorate on election day. Instead the banner is fast becoming frayed and the hope that was offered is beginning to look like more of the same tired old rhetoric of old. The Democrats just want to implement their vision of utopia, more taxes and more government programs, this time around limiting oposition under the banner of reforming the system by eliminating special interests.

So how will this all play itself out. Unless Hillary comes to her senses at some point she in a very real way could destroy the Democratic Party by splitting it irrevocabilby. If Hillary wins the nomination in the those smoke filled back rooms the Obama supporters will become disfranchised and leave. On the other hand a good percentage of the Bubba Clinton voter class will take a look at the "elitist" Obama camp and head over to the old familar shoe of John McCain.

There is one thing the Democrats are right about, it is time for a change. The Democratic Party is oboslete, those old coalitions no longer fit together and must find like water, their own level. A new political allignment in the US must take place, before America can forge ahead. Otherwise it will be more of the same old, same old.
