What Caused Democrat Infighting For 2008 Election

[Ptarmigan]

What do you think caused all the infighting for the Democrats in the 2008 Election? It is fun to watch them fight.  Here are what I think.
-A Black and woman candidate, who are considered minorities.
-Extremists came out of the woodworks in full force. Extremists have always been around and been vocal. They think Clinton and Obama are not left enough.
-2006 Election. The Democrats won largely, but has been plagued by problems.

Infighting is what the left does best.  They have pitched two of their special interest groups against each other (feminists and African Americans) unfortunately for the dems they then have to attack the perceived 'difficulty' of the other to persuade the non members not to vote for them. This attack on those groups'  fundamental identities may attract the disinterested but make the ensuing fight more personal for the other candidate's supporters.
