The WaPo has a whole section about the Democratic Party and

[Mass]

how to win again.

The article by Grunwald that ProSense posted yesterday

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=273&topic_id=90918&mesg_id=90918

(with all the BS it contained about Kerry)

is only a part of it.

It also includes editorial by From and Reed (GO BACK TO WHAT WORKS (Be Like Bill)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/09/AR2006060902006.html

So why haven't Democratic elites embraced Clintonism -- particularly after the ill-fated campaigns of 2000 and 2004, when party nominees who shied away from it didn't carry a single Southern state? Unfortunately, some in our party never accepted Clinton's willingness to challenge orthodoxy to achieve progressive ends on welfare reform, fiscal responsibility, crime and trade.

and David Sirota.FIND YOUR TRUE CENTER (Don't Compromise)

Inside the Beltway, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.) is called a "centrist" because he still supports President Bush's misguided policies in Iraq; Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) proved his centrist credentials when he helped gut consumer bankruptcy protections; Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) is a centrist because he votes for corporate-written, wage-destroying trade deals. And former senator John Breaux (D-La.), now a corporate lobbyist, was labeled the ultimate centrist after working to stop Congress from cracking down on the drug and health industry profiteers who backed his campaigns.

While I lean more towards Sirota than towards Reed and From on this one, why do people think it is time right now to put this fight in the news.
