Gavin Newsom is a DLC Democrat

[Moooooo]

It means you are a hard-left socialist but don't generally advertise the fact.

Thats not true.

Jfern, for the most part the DLC (Democratic Leadership Council) is just a label. 

John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Bill Clinton,  Evan Bayh, Mark Warner, Martin O'Malley, Chuck Schumer - All DLC.

DLC democrats tend to be more pro-business.  DLC candidates support NAFTA, GATT, WTO.  The poster boy for DLC politics is probably Bill Clinton.

[Moooooo]

What the hell does it mean to be a DLC Democrat?

It's a Democrat who should really be a Republican. That's basically what it means.

You really have no idea what your talking about.  Stop embarrassing yourself.

[Moooooo]

Some DLC Democrats are good, some are bad. You have to look at each one individually.

Exactly.  Although Id argue that there are very few 'bad' DLC members.  For the most part they stand up for core democratic values.

Kerry - DLC
Gore - DLC
Bill Clinton - DLC
Chuck Schumer - DLC
Mark Warner - DLC
Even Bayh - DLC
John Edwards - DLC


The DLC is a very eclectic (sp?) group of people.  Some are left, others left of center, and others smack dad in the middle.

[Moooooo]

Gore, Schumer and Edwards are not members of the DLC. See list here:

http://www.dlc.org/new_dem_dir_action.cfm?viewAll=1

Some of the most prominent members include Evan Bayh, Tom Vilsack, Mark Warner, Hillary Clinton, Mark Pryor, Blanche Lincoln and Tom Carper.

Gore and Edwards were DLC.  They are no longer listed because you must hold elective office.



Here is a link to an Edwards speech at the DLC.

You maybe right about Schumer, but I know he's written articles for the DLC in the past.

Bottom line, they're all solid democrats.  They tend to be a little more centrist on economic issues, but for the most part they share the same goals as non-DLC members.

[Moooooo]

Obama is staying away from the DLC to keep his liberal image pure.  But as time passes Im convinced he'll join.  Especially if he has presidential aspirations.

[Moooooo]

What the hell does it mean to be a DLC Democrat?

The DLC is the Joe Lieberman wing of the Democratic party.

Al From is a partisan Republican pretending to be a Democrat.

False.

Kerry is DLC.  Obviously nowhere near Lieberman.
