4. Is it a splinter from the DLC?

If so was the DLC too liberal for them? Any link?

6. New Democrats = DLC

Commonly known as the "New Democrats," the DLC was noted in 1992 as playing an instrumental role in the nomination of one of its former chairs, Bill Clinton, as the party's candidate for president. http://www.mackinac.org/pubs/mer/article.asp?ID=2693

Baer quotes From's thinking in 1988 that success "would come when the DLC and the New Democrats took over the party and helped elect one of its own to the presidency. ¿ Until the White House was won, there would still be a role for the DLC in Democratic policies."
