Grimes, Nunn and Burke were all New Democrats that run on not being republican. All lost. Doesn't stop them from running more and more of them.

You're no more objective than anyone else. The dlc is an ideology, not a style. You really prefer them because you like centerist policies. You are very right wing on foreign policy issues. Obama ran as a progressive and tracked right after the election. So did Clinton the First.
