Just about right

Andrew Sullivan lets a reader opine about the D's and Hillarah here. It is very well done, so I won't add/sully much, but first, one criticism: he forgot about Kerry.

Secondly, The D's are still in the periphery. They have not had a compelling ideology since the Great Society--and that proved to have quite a few flaws.

Third, Clinton was a pretty good D President, overall, but his major domestic achievements (welfare reform, balancing a budget, limiting government, free trade) were done despite Democratic opposition. It took GOP support to push that through--a lot of it, in fact. So........it begs the question. "D's, when will you give up on the old time religion of the Great Society and, much more importantly, when will you give Americans a reason to vote for you other than 'Well, at least I'm not that dude?'"
