Social issues: Progressive Democrats of America
Economic issues: DLC
The DLC really isn't that centrist on social issues as you may think.  Really, they're standard liberal.  You're probably an all-around DLC Democrat, except for perhaps foreign policy.

Actually, I think I recognized part of the passages describing them from wikipedia.

Though, essentially they are accurate.  DLC is economically center-right, socially liberal, Progressives are hard-left by both measures, Blue Dogs are socially center to center-right, Economically pragmatic-populist.

It's the current DLC's form of wimpyness on bread-and-butter economic issues and latte-liberal social beliefs that is really killing us among the working class.
