Huge news! Let's discuss.
This is a perfect example of what the stages that the Democratic and Republican parties are in right now. Starting in the 1990's Democrats started requiring an adherence to certain party principles and created (at least the perception of) a party that was super liberal and unwilling to compromise and get things done. They got over it after 2004 and begain to realize that liberals can't win in certain parts of the country and you need to be a big tent because the country is a big tent.
Republicans need to learn this lesson but we haven't seen any inklings that they have started to yet. It is ironic that the Rush Limbaugh's of the world like to claim that the Michael Moores, Janeane Garafalos and Amy Goodmans of the world run the Democratic party when the truth is that the far right has way more control over the direction of their party than the far left has over its.
Maybe this is why Chris Matthews bowed out despite his constant Pennsylvania pandering!
