When the enemy of my enemy is not my friend

Tim Russert recently pronounced that after the Indiana and North Carolina voting results, the Democratic Presidential primary race is "over". In despair and disgust over popular "liberal / progressive" partisan figures from the blogosphere using such opinions from well-known democrat-bashing media figures to support their own candidate (Sen. Barack Obama), turkana, blogging at The Left Coaster asks an important question:

[H]ow will those who have spent the past six months citing Russert and Dowd and Drudge and Politico and Sullivan and their ilk ever again have the credibility to criticize these blights on the body politic, when it is Barack Obama or the Democratic Congress or any other Democrats or liberals or progressives who are on the receiving end of their bilious spew?


I look forward to the attempts.


But for the obvious fact that a true liberal with truly liberating policy proposals has no chance of getting elected president, not to mention even competing for the nomination, The Great Convergence remains the most disheartening aspect of this political cycle.
