US - Democrats: What are they fighting for?

Hell, even they don't know.

The Weekly Standard takes a look at a new book aimed at shaking up the Democratic party. Read the whole thing but here's the conclusion.

BUT THE MOST DISTURBING question raised by Crashing the Gate is if progressives don't know what they're fighting for, then why are they fighting so hard?

Crashing the Gate provides an invaluable snapshot of the Democratic party and the progressive movement circa 2006. Moulitsas and Armstrong are at the vanguard of the progressive movement, and even they don't know seem to know what it stands for.

Which helps explain why the Democrats are self destructing.
