DLC, Centrist Democratic Group, Closing Shop
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyA death knell for the "sensible center"? Well, one big brand anyway. The Democratic Leadership Council, founded more than 25 years ago on the ashes of a crushing Democratic loss to Ronald Reagan, is closing its doors. The DLC, sort of a rump caucus of Democratic Party moderates, was once an incubator for centrist, pro-business ideas. The goal of its founders was to pull the left-leaning party back into what they viewed as America's political mainstream. It reached its zenith in 1992 with the election of Bill Clinton, who had previously served as president of the DLC. Related ...
Tim Pawlenty: Man of the Moment for a New GOP?

Should she seek the Republican nomination, she not only will confront several White House-minded candidates in her own party but also the unalterable facts of American political history. To be tactful about the subject: Voters haven't been particularly kind to losing vice-presidential nominees of either party for nearly a century. Interestingly, ...
Palin Shoots and . . .
By David Knowles - Politics DailyDepending where you reside on the political spectrum, the nomination of Sarah Palin for Vice President of the United States is either a stroke of genius, or a cynical, if not reckless, political ploy. Both sides in this national debate agree that Palin was selected to help woo disaffected supporters of Hillary Clinton. Both sides also agree that Palin was selected to appeal to the far right of the Republican party. Adding those two sentences together, however, exposes a fundamental disconnect: Hillary Clinton voters loathe the far right of the Republican party. So, in shoring up a base that ...
