Drum: How Did The Lefties Take Over The Democratic Party So Quickly?
His answer.
My answer: because the center-left is helpless against the left. No enemies on the left! The left is only allowed to oppose the right. They crumble and grovel when faced with leftier positions. They think, at some level, that lefter = better. This is one reason the left is so dangerous. The logic of the left forces it to move leftward, ever leftward. Which makes conservatism, in a sense, the only sane position.

Um. That is the same as Drum's claim: that the centrist Dems have no real ideological vision. Of course they will get rolled.
