The Soul of the Party

At this moment, thanks to the racially divisive comments of Geraldine Ferraro and the Clinton campaign's response, the soul of the Democratic party is in peril, and along with it the chances for any Democrat to be President in 2009.

The Clinton campaign is encouraging racial polarization, and the results in Ohio, Texas and now even in Mississippi show that it is happening. If it continues, the Democratic party will destroy itself and in the process, its future and the future of the country. It's really as simple as that.

Right now, I fully expect that party leaders--including Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore and John Edwards--are calling the Clinton campaign and insisting that they sever ties with Ferarro. If the Clinton campaign does not immediately do so, these and other important adults within the party must separately or together declare for Obama and end this campaign before it does more damage.
