Worries, Worries
Bloomberg reports that Democrats are becoming worried - about certain elements of their own party.
Democrats now worry that their inability to make good on campaign promises to end or slow the war in Iraq will have consequences. The disaffection has already fueled at least four anti-war primary challenges to party incumbents, raising fears among some lawmakers of an intra-party fight that could drain momentum before next year's elections.
And the most vocal representatives of the cannibal wing of the Democratic party are in full hue and cry:
In Washington state, the anti-war group MoveOn.org has produced ads condemning Democratic Representative Brian Baird for his refusal to support legislative timetables for a withdrawal from Iraq. The group is also polling members on whether to mount primary challenges against the lawmakers they consider ineffective in trying to end the war.

As long as the brownshirts of the Nutroots were going after Republicans (while filling Democrat Party campaign warchests with all that lovely hate cash) Democrats had no problems. But now that Democrats are the targets, something must be done.
I predict that should Democrats win the White House and Congress next year they will eventually go after the Nutroots the way the Nazis went after Ernst Rohm and the SA. Markos “Kos” Moulitsas, George Soros, Arianna Huffington and the rest might want to watch their backs after November of next year.
