Heh. I, of course, strongly disagree with the notion of the Democrats having gone too far left. IMO they have gone too far right. Like I said in my original post, Bill Clinton was basically a Nixonian Republican. Surely there are some lefties within the party, but the Democratic establishment is firmly on the center of American politics, and on the far end of the center-right if you were to analyze the Democrats compared to the rest of the world. It is only the opponents of the Democrats who sit firmly on the right that try to beat across this myth of the Democrats being lefties. They are so far right, anything else seems leftist to them.
