BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards, a longtime Democrat, says he tells state Democratic leaders that the party needs to move to the center and persuade people that it doesn't advocate socialized government.
Though the Democratic Party has faced a string of losses in Louisiana and hasn't attracted well-known candidates for any statewide elections this fall, Edwards says he believes the party will attract people again. He compared politics in Louisiana and the nation to the swing of a pendulum, saying no one party stays victorious forever.

Broken clock right twice daily.
“When asked how the Democratic Party can re-brand itself, Edwards first quipped, “Change the name.”
Edwards may have been a corrupt crook but he always had a likeable rascal sense of humor.
Advice from another ex-con Democrat.
He just finished up a 10-year stint in the Federal pen....
He should know all about the Democratic party....they all should be in there doing time.
‘it doesn’t advocate socialized government’...
Me thinks it’s too late for the dim Dems.
Bumper sticker was “Vote For The Crook”, LOL
“...and persuade people that it doesn’t advocate socialized government.”
So...lie?
Eddie Edwards, your party has always been about socialism, and now fascism/communism. The smart Dems left the party years ago. What’s left of it now are rich socialists and/or race-baiters.
He’s only been out of prison since January and already he’s trying a political comeback. I think he’ll need a pardon (from Obama?) before he runs for public office.
Your ‘likeable rascal” has ruined Louisiana for generations to come. The Good Ol’ Boy network will outlive me. I wish the bastard and his whole damn family ill until his sirname is dead.
Chad Rodgers has done Louisiana a favor. Great website!
He won’t get a pardon from obama if he keeps talking like that!
The “Center” of the United States believes in the efficacy of the Constitution. Since that is incompatible with the democrat party, this be definition cannot happen.
The ‘RATS have gone so far to the left that there is no way they can get back to the center by November 2012 even if they jumped aboard a “high speed rail” right now. Sorry ‘RATS. You’re toast.
Won’t work. We have the internet now.
In other words, lie to people. They've already been doing that for eons.
After looting the country now the ipiphany? I say throw the guy in jail.
