Reply #29: The only elections the DLC won were Bill Clinton's and that was largely [View All]

due to Clinton's personal talent, not the DLC as a whole.

While Clinton was in the WH, the DLC continued to lose elections in Congress and across state governments. Democrats LOST POWER under Clinton and the DLC and will continue to lose elections as they try to steer the Dem Party farther to the Right until it becomes the Republican Lite or Rockefellar Republican Party.

The Republicans in 2004 did not retake the WH based on "Swing voters." They defeated John Kerry by energizing their base and giving reasons for those Republicans, who stayed home in 2000, to come out and vote for Bush. Karl Rove knew that there were not enough "swing voters," you know the voters the DLC lusts after, to help the Republicans win in 2004,k so they did what the DLC said was a no-no -- energize the base.
