There has been a lot of talk about how the Republicans have some serious problems. But the Democrats have some of their own as well. For example, in Friday's 11/17/06 Detroit Free Press is a news article which reads "Hoyer wins top House job, but unity takes a hit." It's about the fact that Nancy Pelosi's favorite for number two person in the House, John Murtha, wasn't picked by the rest of her party. She's not happy.
That's problem #1. Right next to that column is another piece under the title "National Political Digest" which is headlined "Carville calls for ouster of Dean." Well whadda ya know! I wouldn't have thought it. "'I would describe his leadership as Rumsfeldian in its incompetence' Carville said Wednesday." The article says Carville thinks the Dems should have won more seats than they did.
Don't these liberals look the other way whenever one of them screws up in any way? Evidently, there is one screw up that is unpardonable--failing to gain or keep power. But is Carville really woried about the party as such?
"Some observers say Carville, former chief political advisor to the Clinton administration, is trying to regain party influence as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton eyes the 2008 presidential nomination.
Said John Pitney, a political scientist at Claremont McKenna College in California: "Howard Dean is a potential land mine on Sen. Clinton's road to the nomination. James Carville is the Marine who goes in and blows it up first.""
Hmmm. "Land mine"? "Blows [him] up first"? "Rumsfeldian"? Can't you just feel the love? And Dean is only a potential land mine! These people are vicious. Of course, that's not news to anyone. It is a pleasure though, to see the dorsel fins circling around one of their own.
(I couldn't find either of these two articles in the on-line version of the paper so I can't link to them.)

When I first read that comment from Carville, I thought, "Hillary wants Dean out." The next two years will be mighty entertaining to those who follow politics.
Looks like some interesting things going on in your state:

Sorry for the late response. Yes, the liberal establisment is resisting the "will of the people."
Democracy for me but not for thee seems to be the attitude of Mary Sue Coleman and Mayor Kilpatrick and the Detroit Free Press.
When one sees the president of a so-called elite university unable to think in terms of principles, one has to wonder about the mental acuity of that school's graduates. This is why I would shy away from going to UM. You can get a good education in other non-elite colleges.
UM is also proof of how badly American unversities have been dumbed down by our departments of philosophy and social sciences.
