Reply #1: The party needs to drop the DLC "handlers," since their hamfisted

[Warpy]

mismanagement and tone deafness have ruined the last two presidential campaigns. Keep Mary Beth Cahill on K Street where she belongs, in other words.

The party will have to connect with its working class base to win, and another DLC led campaign is just not going to do it. The party needs a decisive win to overcome the 4% vote flip in GOP voting machines. Another slim victory will mean another GOP takeover.

Kerry was not a bad candidate. Gore was not a bad candidate. However, their campaigns were torpedoed by the DLC, people who ignore the base and squabble over the mythical swing voter. Pay attention to the base, folks, because that's where the votes are.
