Moderates Snubbed
According to this story on MSNBC.com democratic presidential contenders are snubbing the DLC meeting in Tennessee this weekend. It’s a trend that I find annoying, though I do expect candidates to talk to the base of their parties during the campaign.
I’m wondering this: Is the base of the democratic party so partisan that it would actually harm a candidate to attend a moderate event?
It’s too bad the system doesn’t give a third-party candidate any significant chance of winning an election. I suspect there are a lot of voters who are weary with both parties.
