Is tonight the beginning of the end for the Democratic Leadership Council?

Yes, I know Hillary's comments about the RFK assassination have no direct bearing on the other members of the DLC, but what about what the DLC stands for in terms of the party overall?

they still have some cards to play...

O8)

thing for a while.

How is it looked upon by other Dems -- anybody know? Do they think they're all DINOs like we do?

DiFi wants Hillary to be Obama's running mate. This could be their last chance for the DLC establishment to maintain some control in the White House.

It's been a slow change though.

The DLC is the Clintons, and the Clintons are the DLC. "What A Party!"

the Democratic party.

:)

Were the beginning of the end. Hopefully Obama's nomination will be the death blow.

featured (in an article discussing the "dream ticket") a quote from the Vice Chair of the DLC saying that Obama should pick Clinton as his VP if he wins the nomination, because "She would make a good president if anything were to ever happen to him". I wish I were kidding.

It's funny, it's amusing, and nobody gets hurt. :hi:

Most of Washington has a certain stale, stagnant stink that must be cleared.

and fund raising ability. Obama has shown that candidates can raise vast sums of monies without going hat in hand to the uber-rich and cowing to the elite.

It's a difficult task though as the DLC no longer posts it's membership roster. If anyone has a current list of DLC members please post it here on DU.

Taken from two separate lists so there may be duplication.

what you are seeing is a tectonic shift. What you are seeing is a shift in the power structure of the party and HOPEFULLY a shift to the LEFT

That is what this country needs
