Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

Obama must be set as at least the left most edge acceptable and practicable politics and if it can be swung I believe the aim is actually to paint him as outside that spectrum and that as always the party needs to move to the right to salvage relevance from foolish though well intended over reach.

It is a tricky balancing act so they'll settle for Obama's moderate right corporate enabling, smaller bore interventionist politics as the acceptable bleeding edge but in key areas we will see some "principled distinctions born of a more experienced world view" or some such bullshit will be coming to push more overt war, banker taint licking, and corporate globalism.
