Slog - Comments on The Contenders: Tom Vilsack http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/the_contenders_tom_vilsack Sure, November 2008 is nearly two years away, but it's apparently never too early to declare one's intention to run for president, and thus it's never too early to get to know the people who might be the next leader of the free world.

There is nothing "centrist" about the corporate-funded corporate-owned DLC and their pathetic attempt to turn the Democratic party into the weak spineless Republican-lite that lost every chance to regain a congressional majority from 1996 to 2004.

Not just no DLC cannidates but HELL NO.

That said, the DLC is NOT centrist - they're right of center. And they share the fixation on exporting US jobs that the GOP has.

Jake's right on.
