From the People Who Brought You Al Gore

I find the DLC carping to be a little disingenuous. In 1991 and 92, Bill Clinton's only take on foreign policy was that it didn't matter. Remember, "it's the economy, stupid?" Or George H.W. Bush mesmerized in a grocery checkout line? H.W. was all about foreign policy, and it killed him. It's a different world today, but either way the contention is beside the point. Clinton was elected the first time thanks to H. Ross. Not the DLC. Howard Dean very well may get slaughtered by Dubya if he wins the nomination. And then again so might Kerry or Leiberman or Al Sharpton. (Actually, we all know that Sharpton would annihilate Dubya).

But if the party itself goes down the tubes, it won't be due to Howard Dean's vision; it will be due to the Democratic party's lack of one.
