Democrats cant seem to learn

Even Monkeys get it right 50% of the time

The Democrat Leadership Council was created in response to the disasters of the 80 and 84 elections to drag the democrat party back towards the center.  In it, it was lead by conservative governors, mostly from the south.  Indeed it was an awakening of the democrats that they could not neglect the south and win the Presidency.  And it worked.  Clinton won on a left center (moderately liberal) platform in 92.

Clinton was a leader in the DLC, and to this day probably plays an important part.  Bill that is.  Now the DLC has basically thrown in their hats to the NE liberal establishment.  They have gone over to the NE liberal side of the party.  How?  By allowing Clinton to write the agenda for the group!

But, but, but you say!  Was he not the prime example of the fact that it worked?  Wrong Clinton!  They have asked Hillary, by far one of the most shrillest and left members of the democrats (regardless of what you think she is becoming), and a perfect fit for the NE Liberal ilk of the likes of Kennedy, Kerry, Leahy and Durbin.  And the DLC whose mission was to win elections has just been emasculated.

Kind of funny that the member of the democrat party with the most balls is none other than the Royal Queen herself.  And even Clinton (bill this time) had to distance himself from her left wing policies and some of her nominations during his term as President.

The DLC appears to be a one trick pony.  They got Clinton elected, but now that the loony left part of the party is running the show, their run is over.  A shame really.  They were kind of the last hope for a return to a 2 party system, instead of one party and a bunch of raving lunatics.

Is the LA Times mainstream enough to use as a source?

Dr Guy,

But the ones who need to hear the message most aren't listening. It's getting a bit like pissing in the wind, doncha think?

I think it goes beyond that. With the ostracization of Zell Miller and Robert Casey, they are basically driving the more moderates out of the party, at least the party leadership.  So I guess it was natural that the DLC was next in line for a purge.

You should rephrase that by saying, "regardless of how the media is shaping her views".

Not as a source for crafting opinion material, but I trust you implicitly. It's good for some excellent mindless left-spun blah blah, that's for sure. Unending source of comedy and blog-fodder.
I have a hard time with the Washington Post! And I am certainly not going to read the Baltimore Sun.

That was obvious when they appointed Dr. Howard "Cavalcade of States" Dean to the chair.

No thank you, Doc. I'd rather go down with the ship of the left than have a two party system centered to the right and extreme right.

Before you broke the sarcasm meter, that was meant as sarcasm.

Your english is somewhat suspect, so I am not sure what you are saying.

Try AG for starters.  Janet Reno was his (or actually her) third choice.

How about one centered to the near left, and one centered to the near right?

First, I made no predictions.  So no pie is in order.  Second, please check out the winner of the Gubernatorial race in Virginia since 1977.  Then you tell me who I bet on (I did not say voted for).

Would you like mint jelly with your crow?

Sure!  Please do!  I was talking National, not state.  Go right ahead!  I would never be so stupid as to say that democrats would never win local races, or even some Senate and house races.  And when you get those statistics, check out my latest for a serving of Crow ala beeswax.

I was just referring to how many consecutive individual posts you made instead of combining them all into one.

you'll have to cite the law by which the first lady is either permitted submit a nominee or forbidden to proffer her husband advice (or answers, ala nancy...or opinions ala barbara & betty).

next you'll be trying to claim laura pushed george into politics--as if anyone with his long personal history of civic service and barely controllable political ambition would need any additional motivation.

Maybe because they were made on different days?  Or dealing with different subjects?

I did not get a notification until you popped into gloat.  So if you had not, I would never have noted their comments.  JU Email is not foolproof apparently.
