"I should point out that, though Lawrence has been barking more than usual in this election season's TV commentary, he is a brilliant political analyst and a serious Democratic Party player. He was the late Sen. Moynihan's top Senate staffer. He comes from one of the great Democratic Party families. I believe it was his uncle who was President Kennedy's White House chief of staff. He is also the most gifted writer/producer on the NBC show, "West Wing." He is not one of those no-name nitwits who the cable shows pull from obscurity to recite Democratic Party talking points. I elaborate on his enviable pedigree and qualities of mind and experience, because if he says such a thing to a television audience of 6 million viewers, it must surely reflect some measurable body of senior Democratic Party sentiment. And although it is inconceivable that any senior elected Democratic Party officials would ever repeat or act on such a deranged notion, it is a measure of how deep is the Democratic Party elite's contempt for and estrangement from the American public. " From the article you posted.........the very thing Blankley accuses O'Donnel of he is also guilty; that is, "a contempt and estrangement from the American public". Mr. Blankley may be in touch with the 59 million who voted for Bush but he is not when it comes to the 55 million who voted for Kerry. Like many Republics, Mr. Blankley misjudges the mood in the blue states. And that's why secession is being pursued with such interest. ted
