Left 3.0: The Extraordinary Transformation of the Democratic Party

[Douglas Carpenter]

13. keeping in mind this is written By and for the very conservative Hoover Institute at Stanford- it is

well worth reading in full. Of course I don't agree with some of the broad assumptions. The author is a conservative - but nonetheless, one who is making within the context of his worldview - an honest attempt at intellectual honesty. I doubt that the author understands that Left 3.0 is essentially the old moderate, to moderate conservative to moderate liberal wing of the old Grand Old Republican Party that has largely migrated and reconfigured itself in the Democratic Party - But I doubt many Democrats understand that either. But keeping in mind that this is a conservative article written for conservative minds - it is within that context an amazingly perceptive article that should be read in full.
