The Direction of the Democratic Party if Obama loses...

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Hopefully our leadership will be people like Blanche Lincoln, Mark Pryor, Mark Warner, etc., and we'll become a moderate, Southern based Party.  No more nominating New England liberals like Kerry.

So you want the Democrats to become more like the Republicans?

Yes.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Gore and Kerry certainly weren't from the liberal wing of the party.

Kerry who?

John Kerry.

Remember him? He ran against George W Bush in 2004?

He was a moderate.

And he was from New England.  Did he win?

Yes.

Why not just join the Republicans?

Because I don't want us to be Republicans, just move closer to the center; get away from McGovern/Mondale, and move towards Truman/Clinton.

And you support Obama?

I've got nowhere else to go.  McCain's too conservative for me; and the other candidates are nuts.  So Obama '08.

A move back to the type of Democratic Party you want would be best served by a Obama loss.

Perhaps, but I can't stand the idea of 4 more years of Bush's policies.
