According to their website, the the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC: leads the New Democrat movement, a national network of elected officials and community leaders whose innovative ideas are modernizing progressive politics for the 21st Century.

Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack is chair of the DLC. Hillary Rodham Clinton is chair of the DLC's American Dream Initiative. They are both part of a broader Leadership Team.

I am neither pro or con on the DLC; frankly, I don't have enough information to form an opinion. I have noticed over the past few months on DU a wide variety of view's on the DLC's agenda - from strong dislike, to strong support. So, is the DLC a good thing or not?

As always, value the perspective of DUers.

p.s. Just a small footnote, but should not the DLC's website say New "Democratic" movement rather then Democrat? We all know how annoying it is when the MSM refers to the Democrat party.
