Al From recounts rebuilding of Democratic Party
Associated Press ^ | Jan 7, 2014 2:17 PM EST | Will Lester

Al From’s “The New Democrats and the Return to Power” tells the important story of how a political party in trouble can reinvent itself and regain power.

The book is particularly timely because the Republican Party’s leadership has set a goal of broadening its appeal after losing the last two presidential elections. And the Democrats will need to look closely at their political direction after President Barack Obama, with his unique coalition of supporters, leaves the White House. […]

(From) has written a thorough account of the successful effort to pull the Democratic Party toward the political center.

“Political center”, really? If Mr. Lester thinks that the Dems are in the center these days, then he has to be further left than Stalin or Mao.

TEA party and anyone who disagrees with them.

When the GOP was the party of ideas, they couldn’t lose. Then they decided they liked Big Government better, and went back to being the party of Hoover, and have been losing national elections ever since. The Democrats never changed. It was the GOP Elites who put the Democrats back in power.

Al From is a tremendous success. There are no “New Democrats” today in the Democrat Party. They don’t exist. Let’s listen to this guy.
