Seriously, what's wrong with the Democratic Party?

I can't believe how stupid Democrats can be.

Leaving the 2000 election alone for a moment, let's start at 2004. ANYBODY could have beat Bush, except for John Kerry running on the platform of "I'm not Bush". Completely retarded, and if you look back on my posts, I totally called it too.

Now fast forward to today. Hillary and Obama? Are you kidding me? Not only do the pick two candidates that in and of themselves are going to be hard enough to elect, they also let them rip each other apart. Hillary Clinton pounds on Obama over the preacher's crazy sermons, and the Republicans get to sit back and say "We take Obama at his word that he doesn't believe the same things.". The Republicans come out as the good guys mean while the "unity party" destroys its self with in fighting. Well done!

At this point, I think the Democrats may well be finished for this election. It can play out in a couple of different ways:

1) Hillary sweeps many of the remaining primaries but still doesn't have enough delegates. She backroom deals her way in to the nomination by way of Super Delegates and/or possible changes in loyalties of "pledged delegates". The general election ends up tainted with an air of illegitimacy, the Democrats rally together too late and McCain wins.

2) Obama wins cleanly the election and is painted as first a terrorist sympathizer, and ultimately as an enabler. The election becomes about national security more than about economy and McCain, the soldier the POW destroys Obama the terrorist.

3) Hillary somehow pulls a clean or semi clean nomination off, has already passed the "Commander In Chief" test (that is nobody thinks she's not tough enough anymore), the election boils down to the economy and she narrowly wins over McCain.

Personally, I'm getting a funny feeling it will be the first option. That's my prediction at this point.

So again, what is wrong with Democrats? Why can't the unity party get their shit together? Seriously.
