"Who the hell is listening at this point? They are irrelevant. It's full speed AHEAD time!"

..."We're mandated all to heck"...they are not just talking about the left...they are talking about the left and themselves...the far left. And I am glad that I don't have to break the news to them that the Party is now going to attempt to move to the right a bit. They won't be having any part of that...they believe the mandate is theirs...not just for moderate Dems.”

And,

“The Michael Steele effect...African-American candidates are not going to be dictated to by the Dem party any longer. Had the Dems had a true partnership with their African-American constituents, they could have put forward a black candidate in MD, and had another black Senator. Frustration with the Dem Party, by the black rank-and-file spilled over when Steele received significant support from black political leaders. Had the Dems put up a black candidate, he likely would have won...but as usual, the African-American caucus is carrying their water, and getting scraps in return. They (blacks) will continue to (have to) fight for a return on their 50 year investment.”

And I continued with the following on November 9, 2006,

“They will be looking for a white knight... a crusader...to lift them above the malaise and toward the promises of liberalism...economic equality, true "social" security through governmental care and programmatics, and into the Great Society where the simple "will" to get along ensures peace, and all act toward the common good, and evil is vanquished by the light of this Great Society.

They will, of course, be disappointed in the machinations of the Dem Party, and frustrated when the quadrennial appearance of their savior is thwarted by the rigidity of the Party, and that they will be going forward with a mediocre candidate that is incapable of meeting the comparisons to St. John and St. Bobby. They will be angry, and they will not go quietly into the night.”

As will be the case if the Clintons and their megalomaniacal machine rely on super-delegates to deny charismatic Obama the nomination.

“The convention floor will be home to more "moves" than the NBA All-Star game.”

And finally on November 15, 2006, my final Karnacian prediction,

“So, the forces that will determine whether the Dem National Convention will be collegial or not, are in place...and it is looking like the extreme left will be pulling with all its might, the moderates will become frustrated, the MSM will try to influence with their slanted pulpit, and the war in Iraq...the war against terrorism...will still be a factor, so I come to the same conclusion...the Dean's and Pelosi's, backed by the Kos Kids, fueled by the even farther left anti-war crowd, will be discouraged by the centrist Dems who will move to the middle, and the vocal support they (moderate Dems) will get from the MSM...this friction will cause the Dem Convention to be a raucous and memorable affair.

Denver...it is not too late to withdraw your bid.”  On second thought, maybe it is.

With Obama and Clinton in a tight race, and McCain looking beatable, with the Berkley fever still untreated among the far-lefties, with blacks ready to call in their markers, and the Clintonian Presidential Corporation in no mood to file for Chapter 11…this will go to the Convention.  And when the brokering is fumbled by Howard Dean, look for all parties to meet in the street.  This will be a convention for the ages.

I stand by my predictions.
