Fighting Dems For Obama? Uh, No

The normally astute Mark Schmitt writes something incredibly absurd:

With the elected officials who are superdelegates now split evenly between Obama and Clinton, it seems that there are now two congressional parties, defined not by ideology but by attitude: On one side, older liberals like Ted Kennedy joined with those elected more recently who have the combativeness necessary in the Bush years; on the other side, a middle-generation elected and brought up under the assumptions of the '80s and '90, very roughly speaking.

(Emphasis supplied.) Say what? Ben Nelson? Tom Daschle? Kent Conrad? Claire McCaskill? This is one of the silliest statements I have read in a season of silly statements. Yes, the post partisan Obama Unity Schtick has been VERY appealing to the Fighting Dems. What a freaking joke.
