Intra-party infighting
The amount of intra-party infighting among Republicans and Democrats is surprising. During California recall election, Cruz Bustamante was openly companions against Gray Davis, McClintock against Arnold,and now we have the Democratic presidential candidates campaigning aginst each other. Today's NTimes says that John Kerry and Gephardt are joining hands to campaign against Howard Dean. In the Democratic debate organised by CNN this week, it looked as if everybody wanted to bring down Wesley Clark.
Quite a contrast to India where the "high command" controls all views in the party and such open infightings invite "disciplinary action"!
