Good post.  

This was funny: "The last thing we need is a repeat of 1972, which will undoubtedly happen is they are not in charge of the Democratic Party anymore."

With Clinton's recent move to the right on Iraq, 2000 might be a better analogy. It won't matter whether its Nader or the yippie pig (nominee - Chicago 1968 - Youth International Party -- Grant Park) brought back from retirement.  If we have two pro-war candidates, it will not be pretty.
