- Schumer and Emanuel vs. Blogdom
  Posted by Billbar
  What I find most galling is the way they [Chuck Schumer and Rahm Emanuel] have tried to shut down primary challengers and dictate to their candidates. If we are going to have a two-party system that isn't bought and paid for by corporate interests and lobbyists, we've got to break the paradigm. And shutting down primaries is not acceptable. We can't let them get away with that strategy in '08.

- Democrats ahead in 2005 Fund-Raising on Wall Street
  Posted by Billbar from Bloomberg
  Democrats outdid Republicans last year in attracting political donations from investment banks, brokerages and fund managers for the first time since 1994, helped by support from hedge funds and companies such as Merrill Lynch & Co. The fat cats know a good bet.

- The need for a political soul
  Posted by Billbar from Glenn Greenwald
  As 'Crashing the Gate' chronicles, and as [Sen. Russ] Feingold implied, the Democratic Party has all but turned itself over to highly risk-adverse, overly calculating political consultants who have drained the party of ideals, passion, energy and life.

  The results of research on the state of the Democratic Party and progressive politics in America. The authors' chief concern: To get to the bottom of the question of why so many Americans don’t have a firm sense of what progressives and the Democratic Party stand for today.

  As Ted Kennedy ripped the GOP before a roaring, mostly Hispanic crowd, the Bushies saw votes vanishing.

- Dems '06: "We're Out of Touch"
  Posted by Billbar from davidsirota
  New York Magazine this week publishes a piece by the New Republic's Ryan Lizza that has sadly become the standard fare in today's political journalism - a fawning, breathless, desperate-to-be-loved-and-accepted-by-the-elite profile not only of the reporter's subject, but of the entire diseased Washington culture.

Bill Clinton wanted to be the left-wing Reagan. Wouldn’t you say? He was after those same voters.

Also:
"Thomas Frank wrote a best-selling book four years ago (What’s the Matter with Kansas?), which examined this process in his home state, and his conclusions about the use of coded appeals to religion to induce voters to ignore their own economic interests have become conventional wisdom in ruling class political and media circles.

"While Frank’s book had certain insights into American culture and politics, he ignored the most fundamental factor enabling the Republican appeals to prejudice and backwardness to produce electoral successes—the drastic shift by the Democratic Party to the right and its abandonment of any policies to alleviate economic inequality or improve living conditions for working people.
—Patrick Martin, "US media, Clinton assail Obama for ‘bitter’ truth, World Socialist Web Site, 14 April 2008.
