Democratic Bastard Children of 2008

Implicit here is the idea that the Democrats will not be able to successfully fight Rovian dirty tricks (caging operations, onerous voter ID laws, etc.) if Clinton loyalists inside the Democratic Party win the battle to seat Michigan and Florida and by doing so determine the outcome of the primaries... throwing all notions of fair play under the bus (and raising the terrible specter of Bush v. Gore)... If there is a way for the Democrats to ruin a perfect storm of malaise among Republicans, excitement among Democrats, and a wave of GOP retirements, and sweep away all their advantages in November, this is surely it.
