134. That proves nothing.
All of this is based on Kerry speaking to the group and Al From trying to align his organization with the nominee to prove himself relevant.

Kenneth Baer, author of the book Reinventing Democrats, which chronicles the rise of the DLC, agreed that the organization still has relevance for the party, particularly with Kerry as the presumptive Democratic nominee.

“Kerry is neither a card-carrying New Democrat nor is he a card-carrying non-New Democrat,” Baer said. “He represents a synthesis.”

The DLC has a long history of just listing people who they claim support their agenda. Kerry was the nominee so they latched on.
