The hunt for the Democratic middle tpmcafe.com By JesseBC From: Democrats Table This Prospect article suggests that the root of the Democratic Party split is between followers of George Lakoff (centrists who believe the party platform is good, but the message is framed badly) vs. followers of Thomas Frank (lefties who believe the party needs to change to a platform of economic populism).
