Where is she going to hide the body?

Sometimes there is a line in the days news that just can't be ignored.
I love it.

Chris Matthews, a favorite of mine, was talking to a table of pundits regarding the upcoming Clinton/Obama showdown. Faced with the statement that Hillary could lose New Hampshire and still soldier on challenging Obama for the nomination, he issued a question that summed up the central issue of the Democratic party from now on.

Where will she hide the body?

If Clinton continues to challenge, and possibly beat this energetic young transformative figure, how will the party survive?

How will she convince Obama to go back to being the junior senator from Illinois?

Pat Buchanan uttered it in another way. He said "she could still win, but she'd have to steal it from the kid - and that kind of fight can destroy a party."

She won't convince his growing army to vote for her in the general. That much is assured. Logically, then so will be her loss to another Republican.

Even if the Democratic party does not yet know it, this is the choice that it now has in front of it.

1) Move forward and embrace the Obama Revolution or,

2) Shrink back, retreat, and lose another election out by nominating another party insider.

We'll see.

The contest in Iowa has gone a long way, I hope, of convincing rank and file Democrats in the other 49 states that Obama can win.

Now, can the Democrats convince themselves that they want to win?
