199. The best analogy I have for the modern Democratic party is New Labour in Britain
Edited on Tue Dec-30-08 02:41 PM by Lydia Leftcoast
Not only did they not undo Margaret Thatcher's attacks on the welfare state--they added restrictions on civil liberties that even the Tories object to.

As things are unfolding, I'm hoping that I'm wrong in my prediction that Obama will not be another FDR but another Tony Blair.
