Reply #56: Fact: The last three nominees have been DLC members

[dolstein]

What do Bill Clinton, Al Gore and John Kerry have in common? In addition to being Democratic presidential nominees, they were members of the DLC. John Kerry is currently a member of the Senate New Democrat Coalition. Personally, I find Kerry too liberal for my tastes, but then again, the DLC is a pretty big tent -- far bigger than the highly exclusionary group of fringe liberals who claim that the DLC are a buch of DINOs. The fact is, the Democratic rank and file have chosen DLC members to be the party's standard bearer in 1992, 1996, 2000 and once again in 2004. If the DLC is a cancer on the party, then apparently the Democratic primary voters are carcinogens.
