Here are the Third Way elected officials, identified by Third Way: [View all] ucrdem Nov 2014 OP

Obama self-describes as a New Democratic. During a televised interview, merrily Nov 2014 #1

I just did your homework for you and Obama is not a member of Third Way. ucrdem Nov 2014 #3

Irrelevant and wrong. A rose by any other name. DLC/Third Way/New Democrats etc. Many names, merrily Nov 2014 #8

I see. He's a member of the Third Way myth and legend. ucrdem Nov 2014 #12

If you are going to be wilfully obtuse about this, I can't help you. merrily Nov 2014 #16

The simple fact is that Third Way is critical of Obama and does NOT support him: ucrdem Nov 2014 #60

Beside the point. Politicians with similar philosophies disagree with each other on some things. merrily Nov 2014 #76

Neither are the Clintons. Yet you mentioned them. jeff47 Nov 2014 #41

The Clintons are mentioned in the Third Way blog in connection Alison Grimes: ucrdem Nov 2014 #45

"Other than the Clintons...", lmao. Marr Nov 2014 #2

Neither Clinton is listed as a current or emeritus co-chair. ucrdem Nov 2014 #6

You are equating the think tank with the philosophy. That's beyond wrong. merrily Nov 2014 #10

Which kind of makes your list meaningless, huh? Marr Nov 2014 #13

I'm nailing down names, period. nt ucrdem Nov 2014 #15

If you things that are just plain wrong are funny, this is downright hilarious. merrily Nov 2014 #14

Did someone say Barack Obama was on the list of 3rd wayers? Autumn Nov 2014 #4

You can espouse the Third Way political philosophy without even knowing the think tank exists. merrily Nov 2014 #24

merrily you are spot on the money Autumn Nov 2014 #64

What a huge list. Ykcutnek Nov 2014 #5

It is fearsome indeed. nt ucrdem Nov 2014 #20

Good thing Obama is not involved RobertEarl Nov 2014 #7

Well there are two fewer senators as of Tuesday, Hagan and Udall. ucrdem Nov 2014 #9

What about Geithner, Summers, Paulson, Bernanke and Rubin??? L0oniX Nov 2014 #34

Damn!! RobertEarl Nov 2014 #37

OK. I'm not surprised by any of those. MineralMan Nov 2014 #11

Apparently there's also a Third Way state of mind, ucrdem Nov 2014 #18

They've had their day RobertEarl Nov 2014 #22

Frankly getting anyone here to disclose a single name was impossible. ucrdem Nov 2014 #26

Well to be fair your I-think-I'm-clever haiku said more about you than anything else Rex Nov 2014 #35

If you need an excuse, fine, I'll accept it. ucrdem Nov 2014 #38

Excuse? So you didn't write that and then demand people comply? Rex Nov 2014 #39

Whatever nt ucrdem Nov 2014 #40

I'm sure uc is sincere RobertEarl Nov 2014 #42

I have to admit I have loved watching them flip flop all over the ground all week. Rex Nov 2014 #43

Yeah, it's been funny RobertEarl Nov 2014 #52

What gets me is how they assume we are as stupid as repukes. Rex Nov 2014 #53

You have to admit RobertEarl Nov 2014 #59

Not a chance imo, the Third Way board of trustees is almost all investment bankers Rex Nov 2014 #62

Look if you refuse to answer questions ucrdem Nov 2014 #44

What question are you asking? RobertEarl Nov 2014 #46

Names of Third Wayers. nt ucrdem Nov 2014 #48

I suppose. However, I think the term "Third Wayer" is bandied about MineralMan Nov 2014 #25

Well, this is true. Third way gets used in a goofy way here, but it does represent a very real Chathamization Nov 2014 #50

Yes, goofy is an understatement, but I'd agree. ucrdem Nov 2014 #58

That sure is a lot of Former and soon-to-be Former Members of Congress/Senators. W_HAMILTON Nov 2014 #17

They're purging themselves b/c not Progressive & voters aren't showing up for them ~nt RiverLover Nov 2014 #21

Senator Sherrod Brown isn't on there for a reason, he's a true Liberal. RiverLover Nov 2014 #19

Harold Ford jr, continual corporate dem sell out and MSNBC commentator. on point Nov 2014 #23

I wonder how many people a large group of investment bankers can buy? Rex Nov 2014 #27

Two in your list are Obama cabinet members AgingAmerican Nov 2014 #28

Former members, as far as I can tell. ucrdem Nov 2014 #31

"Members" AgingAmerican Nov 2014 #32

Names. nt ucrdem Nov 2014 #36

Your list is missing "names" AgingAmerican Nov 2014 #61

Okay I'll add the Board of Trustees: ucrdem Nov 2014 #63

Mark Udall was defeated, was he not? Voice for Peace Nov 2014 #29

Hagan and Udall were both defeated, yes. ucrdem Nov 2014 #33

That is why we need more "third way" corporate approved cartoon democrats Warren Stupidity Nov 2014 #47

There's nothing that stops them from excluding someone on a list. Phlem Nov 2014 #30

LOL Your list captures only those who have served as co-chairs. WorseBeforeBetter Nov 2014 #49

Obama and Biden are in a stock photo that has no apparent connection to Third Way. ucrdem Nov 2014 #51

The Biden backdrop *is* Third Way. Looks like he was participating... WorseBeforeBetter Nov 2014 #54

That's the implication, yes, but it's not supported by any language on the page. ucrdem Nov 2014 #57

Take it up with the Third Way, then. WorseBeforeBetter Nov 2014 #67

They're the "Not as Bad" wing of the Democratic Party. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2014 #55

As always you've chosen the perfect quote Dragonfli Nov 2014 #78

Seriously DUers, you want a laugh? READ THE BIOS. WorseBeforeBetter Nov 2014 #56

You are forgetting the New Democrats Coalition wing of the party. madfloridian Nov 2014 #65

Ooops, I forgot they changed New Dem to NDN madfloridian Nov 2014 #66

No, just linked through a great number of his cabinet picks. Kermitt Gribble Nov 2014 #68

Good riddance. GeorgeGist Nov 2014 #73

So when are you sending in the armed gunmen? wyldwolf Nov 2014 #74

Aren't you scared of being "purged"? Didn't you see the movie. leftofcool Nov 2014 #77

Right? Obvious from day 1. RiverLover Nov 2014 #71
