Because Rahm Emmanuel, Chuck Schumer, and Howard Dean DID NOT win the election for the Democrats. George W. Bush did. The rest is window dressing. I think someone not associated with the Democratic Party is playing on natural divisiveness within the party by circulating this "story". All of the Democrats entering office in heavily red areas are a mixed bag of stances - stances, no doubt, that represent those districts and not a set party ideology. Further, some myths have been debunked: Diebold is not out to steal elections for the GOP - they're just out to make money; Rove is not a genius and shouldn't be feared; don't get me started about the so-called "corporate" media - I have two degrees in media studies and have a contrary opinion about that issue that is bound to piss everyone off; and finally, yes, Democrats had a hard time winning while the GOP waved the bloody shirt of 9/11 BUT NO LONGER.
So now we're fighting over the table scraps. How sad. The Carville rumor appears to have circulated from one "brilliant, omniscient" blogger to another (fuck all of them, btw) but even if it's set in fact - who fucking cares? I think it's quite evident after Tuesday that our votes DO INDEED COUNT. Vote tampering didn't lose 2000 for us - but a withholding of a full recounting of Florida ballots by the Bush assholes via the court system did. Our votes COUNT. And they will COUNT in the primaries. If you want a liberal/centrist/conservative Democrat to run on the party's ticket then vote for that person. Lift the veil of conspiracy from your eyes and focus on the power you actually have! But otherwise, why don't you have a goddamned beer and enjoy the week? We can fight over this when a few of these folks actually start declaring their candidacies. :beer:
