The DLC are corporate apologists. Corporations have become the problem not the solution. As BadTux recently noted, there are no more “American corporations”, they have all become multi-nationals and put their interests first.

“My gut feeling is that the “undecideds” are the extremes of both parties, not the center.” – Bryan

That is my sense as well. Those who are conventionally named “independent” are by now no longer undecided. That in turn leads me to question the sincerity of the DLC wing of the party: do they really seek additional public support, or are they forsaking the public (along with any Democratic election victories) for the sake of increasing their own power? Who, exactly, are the DLC’s constituents, and how do they differ from those of Republicans?

The late great Molly Ivins used to say (quoting someone… Truman?) that given a choice between a “Republican” and a Republican, American voters will choose the Republican every time. If DINOs keep backing off on the public’s agenda the way they have recently done, they may learn that the hard way.

This is “inside the Beltway”/DLC conventional wisdom push by consultants that is guaranteed to tick off the majority of voters. The only place swing voters exist is in the mind of these consultants. My gut feeling is that the “undecideds” are the extremes of both parties, not the center.

I hate to be cynical about this but I think they might well be acting like the majority party: DINOs.
