The increasingly contentious contest between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton calls out for the intervention of elder statesmen in the Democratic Party.
The latest news is that the left is angered by Obama's appearance on Fox News, claiming that it legitimizes a news channel that bloggers have sought to marginalize.
In the meantime, Clinton's victory in winning the endorsement of Governor Easley of North Carolina adds to her momentum after a significant win in the Pennsylvania primary.
Let's not forget yesterday's news cycle, which brought us more controversy from Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and John McCain's about-face on whether Wright's comments are fair game.
It's all looking a lot like a slow-motion train wreck, and unless the Democratic Party elders make a move, neither Obama nor Clinton will win anything but a pyrrhic victory. There is a real risk that turned-off voters will lean toward McCain in November.
Leave it to the Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
