Defining the Party Line Part Two: The Democrats
listen:
 In part two of this week's special two-part mini-series, The Exchange takes a look at what it means to be a Democrat today. Throughout the hour we'll hear from various Democrats and we also want to hear from you. What is your ideal Democrat? What values should the party embrace as it moves forward with the big midterm election gains it made? Should the party move back to the left or stay more centrist? Laura's guest is Dante Scala, Associate Professor of Politics at St. Anselm College and Research Fellow at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics. We'll also hear from Robert Weiner, Former Clinton White House Senior Public Affairs Director, Previous Communications Director for U.S. Reps. John Conyers and Charles Rangel; Mark Fernald, former Democratic State Senator and gubernatorial candidate; Joe Keefe, CEO of Pax World Funds, former New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair, former member of the DNC and former Democratic nominee for New Hampshire's 1st congressional district and Terry Shumaker, former DNC member and currently Executive Director of the New Hampshire NEA.

Laura -
You are not doing your homework, you are simply spouting the verbiage of the pundits that get published. The dems were not elected because they moved right, they were elected on progressive and populist platforms. You would know this if you tried to actually enumerate the "conservative" dems, instead of simply repeating "what you heard or read in a editorial". You never question the pablum you are given for preparing for the show.
You need to pay attention and stick with a thought instead of trying to seem "nice" all the time, you are getting way too saccarin. Did you even notice that the Republicans you talked to yesterday kept calling it the "Democrat" Party instead of the correct term, "DEMOCRATIC"? It is a standard insult that the GOP has been driving for years, and you just let them slide it in, no challenge.
