Is a spine transplant transferable?
I don't think so, because Sen. John Kerry and Edwards are still the same old, same old guys who voted for Bush's tax cut and voted for Bush's Iraq war resolution and wouldn't have stop Bush and GOP's from passing of the Omnibus Bill.
And this why the ABB "anybody but Bush" BS won't work.
The Dems still don't have a spine. The GOP is still in control.
If Howard Dean were to drop out of the race right after NH, I have no doubt that within months the Democratic Party would imploded.
John Kerry cannot save the party nor will John Edwards and heck, Clark isn't even a member of the fucking party.

And along the lines of establishments and organization, we'd all gotten accustomed to thinking that Dean destroyed the Democratic establishment in the Fall when he rocketed ahead of their candidates, developed a new way of fundraising, and bashed them silly for their feeble opposition to the president. But maybe that's wrong. Perhaps when he really delivered that establishment a fatal blow was in the winter when he got all of them (Gore, Bradley, Carter sorta, Harkin, McGreevey, Kamarck -- yes, we saw Elaine, we saw!) to endorse him and then, with them in tow, drove off a cliff.

Josh Marshall is full of shit.
It the Democratic Party was dealt a fatal blow it will be because the Dems decided they didn't need a spine and they branded Howard Dean as unelectible for have had one. The ever gullible Josh Marshall bought into it the same stupid lines as when Josh bought Kenneth Pollack's book about WMD and war in Iraq.
The Democratic Party use to have war horses in the passed and now all that is left of that history is old Sen. Robert Byrd and semi-war horse Sen. Carl Levin. There is a war between corporate control and democracy. The Democrats don't care about "the people" anymore just the funding, same as the Republicans.
The Democratic Party has basically already been destroyed, and the Republic Party will soon follow.
