This electoral season, with the plethora of primaries, they have to run to the left first to get the nomination, then try to come back to the center to win the election...The Dems have sold their party's soul to the hard-left constituency groups, unions, etc.....and they control the primaries....
Also, folks forget that in 2000 Gore ran to the left...look at how he coc-opted Bradley in the primaries.....
I hope they prosper and perpetually capture 20% of every municipal, state and federal election.
It wouldn't get any better than that:)
