Posted at 12:45pm on Apr. 16, 2008 McGovern and Dukakis save the Democratic Party!

As Hillary clings to her lifelong dreams of being President, Obama has to hit back and the entire Democratic Party looks foolish and, well… bitter. (They are too enlightened to embrace religion or to own guns, though.) I am one of those who "lamented" that it would take a vaunted Dem leader to bail to end this nonsense, and the only Dem who fit the bill was Bill. Well, Clinton has his own interests after which to look this time.

I could have been wrong. Two of that party's elder statesmen have embraced Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen's scheme for a superdelegate convention before the Denver convention, at which the superdelegates would decide the winner before the elected delegates vote. (Sure, it could be construed as elitist, but I'm sure Barry O. would have it no other way.) The two Dem heavyweights, the superstars of their party? Try George McGovern and Mike Dukakis, general election blowout losers in '72 and '88 respectively.

This is not a joke.
