Dems want tea partiers enthusiasm

Well, first you heard that Boxer wants the enthusiasm. Now Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen's theory that the Dem party should move toward the center. They are having a problem convincing their party to not commit political suicide because it wants to...it loves government control and the nanny state. (Did you hear they don't want us to use salt anymore? Pry the salt shaker out of my cold, dead fingers.) Over at NRO:

It'’s not sexist; it’s statist. They believe government can do great good: It can provide food, shelter, health care, housing, education, retirement income, paid leave, day care, long-term care, and so on. Costs are ignored. And those overlooked costs aren’t just the actual trillions of dollars of debt that the government assumes with these responsibilities, but the loss of liberty, community, and the basic concept of self-determination that was central to the country’s founding and to its history of prosperity and freedom.
