Just how much loyalty can a political party owe one family (the Clintons Dynasty)? It is very clear that the Clintons are in power just for themselves and if you stand in their way, they will do everything they can to try and destroy you and everyone associated with - this C-family is the political hurricane bent on destroying everything in its path. Earlier on at the beginning of the campaign, one Georgia congressional Democrat said when endorsing Obama that he had been threatened by the Clinton people - the actual phrase he used was "The Arkansas Mafia". By the time he used such a term to the media, the tactics used against him to gain support must have been very rough or not pretty. I hope that Dems will understand that with Obama's support from a cross-section of new voters, the party is poised to expand its base significantly and grow it voter-rolls. Furthermore, because a large number of the Obama voters are young people, the party will be strong for a generation. These young people are from a diverse background and can influence many others in their communities. Obama has picked up very strong support in very many states around the country (and states Dems had forgotten) and has built a strong grassroots organization. This local network will help in building the 50-state strategy for the Dems, introduce a new generation of leaders in the community, and enable many other elected officials in wining their election from dog-catcher to state level, governorships, US Congress, to US Senate. Team Obama has also demonstrated the new way to raise money cheaply from more than two million small donors and this is the new financial reality. I hope the super-delegates are taking notice and are not continuing to be intimidated by old loyalties to one political dynasty. Obama is Democratic Party's Future.

Very True | Report to Admin

Very true. I think the letter sent to Nancy Pelosi just goes to show that the Clintons see their stranglehold on the Democratic Party rapidly slipping away. The have relied on a twentieth-century style of politics, and it is coming back to bite them in the ass. Senator Obama has proven that you don't need to pander to lobbyists and rich "fat-cats" to raise funds in present-day politics. They are the past, we are the future.
