centrist orginization. I like the centrists; I don't agree with them on a lot of things, but all ideologies (well, barring this new brand of neo-fascism we're seeing in the Republicans) are welcome in the Democratic Party - but the New Democrat Network (headed by Simon Rosenberg, yeah, the one running for DNC chair) is a much more viable option for moderates.

Why? The NDN actually has a plan, a strategy, most significantly, reaching out to Hispanics. The DLC? They've got nothing. It's like the leadership wants the Democrats to lose. They insist on eliminating our strongest voices (not everyone likes Michael Moore - I, myself, am not a huge fan - but he at least speaks the truth) and keeping the Democrats tied up with the same string of corporations that the Republicans are tangled up in. And both the non-DLC party members and the voters get screwed.
