The Post-Clinton Party

Whither the Democratic Party? Have eight years of Clintonism and prosperity made it the party of Middle America? Or, in the wake of the Gore defeat, is it a mere agglomeration of interest groups rolling down the path blazed by Walter Mondale? Can the party win back the White House if it continues to excommunicate gun owners and those opposed to abortion? (Arguably, Al Gore lost the 2000 election not in Florida but in West Virginia, Tennessee, and Arkansas, where his association with the Million Moms and other gun control advocates cost him heavily among rural male voters.)

To assess the state of the Democratic Party after Clinton and Gore, TAE interviewed several of the most provocative and perceptive critics of the Democratic Party--most of them Democrats themselves. TAE's John Meroney, Bill Kauffman, and Evan Gahr spoke with

Mike Barnicle, a columnist for the New York Daily News

Jerry Brown, the mayor of Oakland, former governor of California, and thrice a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination

Nat Hentoff, longtime civil libertarian and columnist for the Village Voice; a Democrat who voted for Ralph Nader

Ron Klink, a four-term congressman from western Pennsylvania who narrowly lost a 2000 Senate race to Republican Rick Santorum--in large part because the national Democratic Party was reluctant to support him as a pro-life, pro-gun Democrat
