I'm sick of the sexism in my party that I've supported for 30 years. Mustn't offend the 26 year old netroot bloggers, mustn't offend the "independent voters" and the caucus bullies. Well guess what Howard and Nancy, you've offended me! "young voters" will move on to the next new thing in fifteen minutes anyway, and you'll be left with no one to pour the damned coffee.

I would rather see McCain spazzing out trying to deal with an uncooperative congress than give the GOP four more years to come up with a better candidate.

A mass exodus from the party, which won't even <em>be</em> a party be the time this primary season ends. "It'sNotMe" summed it up very well above. I've been disgusted with the so-called leaders for two years now--they've done none of the things we put them into office to do. I think when Obama loses the general election, if not before, there will be a mass defection from the party. I no longer think it can be shaken up from the inside as Markos of Dailykos has been preaching. There will be many, many disaffected <em>former</em> Democrats and Independents who can begin the work needed to construct a new political party. I can't call myself a Democrat anymore. Yes.
