I'm talking simplified models, not particular behaviors. Nothing is ever black and white, and I recognize that the Democratic Party contains a wide range of people acting in a wide range of ways.<BR/><BR/>But the dominant culture within the Democratic Party is one that encourages the inherent conservatism of the cautious-party model, and discourages the risk taking necessary to adopt the strong-party model. Witness how Howard Dean was regarded by the party establishment. Success is always a balance between risk and caution, but where you start on that continuum has a big effect on how you act and where you end up.Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14409405491391904845noreply@blogger.com
