The return of the DLC
Over at The Reaction, I’ve just posted on the Democratic Leadership Council’s meeting in Columbus, and I begin to address the big-tent theory of party politics that seems to elude Democrats.
I tend to side with the DLCers against, say, the Deaniacs (hey, I’m a moderate!), but I worry that Democrats are engaging in yet another victory-preventing civil war. You know, the usual squabbles over ideological purity at the expense of electoral success.
Republicans are so good at the unity thing. Why is it that Democrats just can’t get along?
