Does this guy remember that the Dems controlled Congress under Reagan? They also moved to the right after the 1994 mid-terms, and the 2006 Dems ran as center-rightists. Even Obama talked about tax cuts and stopping earmarks. I just find it laughable when pundits say conservatism is finished, yet you see Democrats run as conservatives to win elections, and then you have Bartlett (and Powell etc) bloviate that Republicans are losing independents and moderates precisely because of the "hard right" (i.e. conservatism).
