The DLC Fades

Peter Beinart has an article up in the Daily Beast that I actually agree with, given his own background as a DLC apoligist. But he is correct in pointing out that there is a new type of Democrat out there, growing in numbers that do not subsribe to the DLC's view of going along to get along. A view that has been entirly discredited by those that do not fear the GOP. A group that realizes there is nothing to fear about standing up to the Minority Party and getting legislation done. Given that the DLC's current leader is none other than Horrid Harold Ford it is no surprise that it fades from relevance. Fords comical bid to try and unseat Senator Gillibrand showed how woefully out of touch he, and his organization are with currnt moods in the country
and the electorate itself. Their time has passed and it's time to put it where it belongs --- nowhere near the decision making of the Party.
