Today I'm invoking a dose of old fashioned Aristotelian catharsis for the Democratic Party.Obama should not take the party to the polls in its present condition.After such a bruising battle with Hillary Rodham Clinton,the next scene in this phantasmagoria should see Obama extending the olive branch to the former first lady by offering her up front[like yesterday],a prominent position like Secretary of State[see my previous blogs on this matter].I  only hope the Democrats do not fall into the trap of counting their chickens before they are hatched.
