Blue Dog v. Yellow Dog

Dem Centrists Seek 'Political Civil War' With Liberals...

The battle begins for the soul of the Democratic Party. How competitive the Dems will be in 06' and 08' will largley depend on how this plays out.

My prediction: Dean and the left will win this fight, then barring a meltdown in Iraq or self destruction among the Republicans, they will get creamed again in 06'.

Evan Bayh may not make excite the liberal base, but unlike Dean and the MoveOn crowd, he can attract moderate voters. Will the Left get the message? Probably not until they kick get their asses kicked one more time.

Regardless, nothing is more fun to watch then a panel of out-of-touch Democrats debate why they just can't seem to win in Middle America. They always seem to come to the consensus that its' not their support for issues like partial birth abortion that does them in, it's that they haven't done a good enough job explaining why partial birth abortion is good for them.

good luck Evan
