I went to their website and couldn't find a list of their members. I guess that shows how popular they are with the public (as opposed to corporate donors).

5. formally, yes, but obviously there is a philosophically similar group in the Senate
or health care reform wouldn't have been dragged out interminably.

3. Nobody wants to admit, in writing, that they're a member of that traitorous cult
Because they don't want to have their asses handed to them in their next primary - as Lieberdouche was in 2006 (and would be gone if Connecticut had a law like most other states that prevents the loser of a primary from running in the general election that year.)

4. Correct!
One can only speculate how many more of our elected officials have joined that traitorous cult since they last published their membership.

6. Here's a list of the "New Democrat" coalition.

I believe they're essentially the same as a DLC list. They New Democrat Coalition is "moderate and pro-growth".

8. There are DLC members who are not New Democrats
Reid and Schumer for example.
