I was listening to Fox News today on Sirius Radio and was blown away when the liberal talking head guest actually stated that she thought that the next leader of the DNC needs to be someone that is not a left wing liberal (Debbie Wasserman), just a middle of the road democrat. She said the extreme left wing views of past has not helped their cause and they lost many blue collar/Reagan democrats.

The Democrats did try the strategy of pretending to move to the center after the Reagan landslide in 1984 by forming the Democratic Leadership Council which gave us Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Also, the Dims won control of Congress in 2006 by running "Blue Dog Democrats", Democrats who once again pretended to be moderate. So it is a winning strategy for the Dems to move to the center.

The problem for the Democrats there are very few if any moderates left in the Democratic party leadership apparatus. I can't think of any and the rank and file of the Democratic party is so shrill and immature I don't think they would accept anyone who is half way sane.
