17. The only Dems to win since FDR

have been Centrists

Truman
Kennedy (look at the tax cuts)
LBJ (pragmatic more than libeal plus the escalation itn Vietnam)
Carter(Governed as a moderate)
Clinton (the Big Dog has a big blue streak)
Gore (another DLCer)

When we run liberals we don't win and sometime we get slapped silly by the electorate.

Its' not that liberals are wrong. It is usually because we let the GOP define us. (McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry)
