Now that the Republicans have been soundly defeated by a brilliant Obama Campaign and a resurgent Democratic Party, we should also celebrate the demise of those corporate Democrats who will no longer have the same access they once commanded.
The most stupid prediction against Obama came from Lanny Davis :

This will make you both laugh and cringe.
Everybody will be delighted to the back of Bush, Cheney, Rove etc
Many of us can't wait to see the demise of Joe Lieberman, Lanny'Gotcha'Davis, Mark Penn, lunatic PUMA's, Lady Lynn F. de Rothschild etc. Much has been written here and elsewhere about these people and their continual dislike of Obama/ support for Republican policies and candidates.
These people all felt that they were special, entitled, elitist and treated ordinary liberal/ grassroot Democrats with contempt. They bullied, hectored, intimidated and threatened and most went over to McCain/ Palin in the end despite Palin's anti-feminism, her extreme anti-Abortion views and the pledge to continue Bush/Cheney policies for another 4 years.
We will soon move on and celebrate the impending dawn of the Obama/ Biden era - but also with the knowledge that he faces $10 Trillion debt mountain and disastrous Foreign Policies to contend with.
However - its good to put the boot into those who " could not in good conscience support Senator Obama" one last time.
I could go on about Penn's business dealings, Lady Rothschild's elitism or the delusional beliefs of some PUMA's but Lanny Davis deserves special mention as few people have been so consistently wrong about events than Davis and he made repeated attempts to destroy Obama during the primaries. He is also a bully.
I came across an old article by Joe Lieberman's buddy and top Hillary sycophant, Lanny Davis last night and I couldn't stop laughing at it.
Like everything that Davis says (usually on Fox News, WSJ, Newsmax or any other far-right organ willing to pay him) this is complete rubbish and proved wrong by events.

Given that Obama has broke the 50% barrier, defeated McCain by over 7% and won in loads of traditional Republican States this is laugh out loud stuff . Davis lives on a different planet and maintains in this old article that : "There were no personal attack ads run by Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania ".
This was around the same time that the Clinton Campaign was leaking photographs to " dressed" Obama to the Drudge Report.
In an echo of the McCain Campaign's attacks on Obama, Davis says that Obama is a "risk" , and that he would not win traditional Dem. States such as Mass. and New Jersey.
Why does the Media take this clown seriously ? They are paying a nasty, hypocritical little man who only seems to be involved in politics in order to enrich himself.
You have to read this crap - it is both idiotic and amusing. How did Bill Clinton ever avoid impeachment with Lanny as his Counsel ? Davis is a big supporter of Ted Stevens at the moment.
Lanny Davis was on every network around this time telling us that "McGovernesque Obama Would Lose 49 States against McCain " in November.
Several Democrats have suggested that Davis would vote for McCain/ Palin despite his (lukewarm) public pronouncements in favor of Obama. Lanny Davis is treasurer of Joe Lieberman's Reuniting Our Country PAC. The Davis-Lieberman PAC contributed over $5,000 to McCain's campaign and nothing to the Democratic Presidential campaign.
Should those faux Democrats who helped/ donated McCain Palin in any way be permanently expelled from the Democratic Party and not given any positions/ work by the Democratic Congress/ Obama admin ?
Congratulations to all fellow Democrats, progressives and the Obama volunteers for delivering such a decisive blow to the republican corporate establishment and to those so-called Democrats who had been corrupted by power, money and lobbyists.
For once the good guy Won and the people triumphed over the Beltway insider elite.
May God Bless and protect President Obama.
Despite the economic gloom - many citizens feel that it is Morning in America once again.
