New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton last week hosted the 2002 DLC National Conversation in New York City, anchoring the two-day program with a stirring keynote address that focused on the major themes of the event: security, opportunity, and responsibility.
...
Good ideas, rooted in good values, she said, "were converted into policies ... [during the Clinton Administration] that literally changed millions of lives and, I argue, changed America." She offered a list of prime examples of those policies: national service, the Brady Bill, family leave, NAFTA, investment in science and technology, new markets, charter schools, the Earned Income Tax Credit, the welfare to work partnership, the COPS program, the SAFER program.

At K Street’s No. 1 lobby shop, ties to Clinton run deep


K Street’s top moneymaker, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, has strong ties to Hillary Clinton and her presidential campaign, putting the firm in a plum position to impact the 2016 election cycle and cement its standing among Washington lobby shops in a potential Clinton administration.

Akin Gump boasts a slew of Clinton connections, including the campaign’s treasurer, José Villarreal, who remains an active consultant for the firm.

“It’s obvious that political connections are hugely important in the lobbying game, and certainly Akin has positioned themselves nicely, should Hillary get the Democratic nomination and then become president,” said Ivan Adler, a principal at The McCormick Group.

To be sure, Akin Gump's massive and bipartisan operation has top Republican connections, including ties to current and likely 2016 presidential candidates.

2. "New Democrats" equals "previously known as Republicans"

Those fuckers have infiltrated and ruined the party of FDR.

5. The DLC was formed because of the Decade of Darkness when Democrats were shut out of the

White House. Sanders is Mondale/Dukakis redux.

6. Mondale/Dukakis were Centrists too

7. Impressive list...national service, family leave, even that old

nemesis Brady bill.

"Rooted in good values...converted into policies that changed millions of lives and changed America."

Some policies were great, some not so great.
