Democrat Implosion

I never thought I'd say this, but I feel a little sorry for the Dems. They can't win an election, their allies in the media have lost their monopoly (not to mention credibility) and the Republican conservative base is energized like never before. And they're imploding. The hissy fit yesterday in the Senate is only the beginning. Wait until the Supreme Court hearings begin, and the Dems have to carry the message of the kook fringe that has become the mainstream of the party.

But when I saw this, I knew it was all over for them:

Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican. Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.

And later in this story, we get the sad truth of the Democrat Party:

"Party trumps race, especially on the national level,"

Yes, party trumps race. Sell out one of your own for the good of the party. Because power trumps all.
