Centrist Democrats of the New Democrat Network who want their party to move forward on trade are trying to influence a fiery inter-party debate before a new president takes office in 2009.

New Democrat Network (NDN) President Simon Rosenberg said his group’s goal is to build a new bipartisan consensus on trade, a hallmark of President Bill Clinton’s administration that Rosenberg argues the Bush White House unraveled. “We hope to forge one before the next president comes to office,” Rosenberg said.

...
NDN would be well-positioned to influence trade policy if Hillary Clinton becomes the next president. Rosenberg is a veteran of Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign war room and later worked for the Democratic National Committee and Democratic Leadership Council before starting NDN. Robert Shapiro, who heads NDN’s globalization initiative, was an undersecretary of commerce for economic affairs during Clinton’s second term. He also served as principal economic adviser in Clinton’s first campaign.

1. New Democrats(DLC) have a way of snatching Defeat from

the Jaws of Victory.

Just when HRC is trying to make some headway with a rational
approach to Trade, as usual the DLC pops up to shoot possibilities
down.

The DLC are not all concerned with the 40 million dislocations
predicted from Globalization and trade. And they call themselves
Democrats. (Sarcasm)
