The Democratic party is definitely in trouble. Hillary and Obama are basically doing McCain's job for him without him having to spend a single penny. While the two of them duke it out and sling mud at each other more and more independents will slip through their fingers. They may not go McCain's way but more likely to a third party candidate.

The problem as I see it is that the Republicans have always been better organized. While McCain may not have the best support within his own party none of them will cross the aisle and vote for Hillary or Obama nor will they chance it by voting third party. They will stick to McCain because to them he is the lesser of three evils, at this point.

Just like in 2004 the Democrats will squander away what could have been an easy victory.

The only hope I can carry away from this election year is that enough people get sick and tired of the typical shit we are handed by the Dems and Reps and look elsewhere for a candidate to represent them. While a third party candidate will have no chance of winning the White House if enough people do vote third party it will hopefully send a message to Washington that the two party monopoly may be coming to and end. That they can no longer sit upon their thrown without fear of loosing their grasp on power.

That is what I'm thinking, too.
