And they are vote cheaters!

Hits the nail on the head with this paragraph:

But there has been no long-term Democratic abandonment of the South. Clinton and Gore were both Southerners, and o is John Edwards. The party tends to be far more timid on issues like guns and gay rights than its base would like—precisely for fear of alienating Southern and Midwestern rural voters. It's the South that has abandoned Democrats, as Republicans take advantage of social issues to win over voters whose economic interests are better aligned with the Democratic Party. In the 1990s Miller warned Democrats not to let the GOP beat them at this game. Today Miller is one of its best practitioners.

Not exactly an original thought, but that's basically what happened.

Maybe because Zell is a DiNO (Democrat in Name Only). He's just bitter that the party, though initially successful, fell apart under DLC leadership, and has put itself back together again in part thanks to Howard Dean and George Bush.

Also, the article doesn't paint a very favorable picture of that shill, Miller, so I wouldn't be bragging too much.

Last, but certainly not least, thread jacking your own thread with an off topic post/bump?

You're weird, man.

Wasn't off topic, and it's my thread.
