The Hoover wing.

My new name for the New Democrats or Third Way. Since everyone has to put a label on everything, that is mine. Afterall, there's "professional left" and other descriptions out there, right? It is why 2008 ended up not being a change election even though it looked like one according to the numbers. It's why the minority party has political control.

1. It's certainly more accurate.

2. "Hooray." - Hoobert Heaver (R - Dead)

3. That about sums it up.

I like it. :thumbsup:

"Third Way" and "New Democrats" sounds so unspecific. Could mean anything.

"Hoover" wing is pointed, self-explanatory, and has the negative connotation that the conservative wing of the Democratic party so richly deserves.

4. Yeah, the Hoover Wing of the Democratic Party.

It just has that ring to it. And its hoovering up any and all Democratic Party principles still laying around.

5. Not fair to Hoover.

His conservative policies failed the nation. But he was a compassionate man, and if he had the benefit of history that we have today, he might have made different choices.
