When blogs attack

Dems whine like whipped dogs.

Blogs Attack From Left as Democrats Reach for Center

"The bloggers and online donors represent an important resource for the party, but they are not representative of the majority you need to win elections," said Steve Elmendorf, a Democratic lobbyist who advised Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign. "The trick will be to harness their energy and their money without looking like you are a captive of the activist left."

The blogs-vs.-establishment fight represents the latest version of a familiar Democratic dispute. It boils down to how much national candidates should compromise on what are considered core Democratic values -- such as abortion rights, gun control and opposition to conservative judges -- to win national elections.

Many Democrats say the only way to win nationally is for the party to become stronger on the economy and promote a centrist image on cultural values, as Kaine did in Virginia and as Bill Clinton did in two successful presidential campaigns.

Unbelievable. The professional election losers are still fighting the last war.

And what's with the bullshit about "moving to the center"? The GOP keeps pulling the so-called "center" further and further to the right, and the Democratic party looks like a dopey dog forever chasing its tail while the country laughs at it on "America's Funniest Political Videos."

The Dems love our enthusiasm and our money, but they'd rather we hide in our rooms until company leaves.
