William Voegeli has a very insightful piece in today's WSJ
on the state of the Democratic Party. He echos many of the themes
discussed here on SDP about the wayward direction of the Democrats. Like
me, Voegeli picks up on the "Seinfeld" analogy that the Democrats are
the party of nothing (and John Kerry ran the campaign about nothing, I often
said). But Voegeli has a slightly different take:
The Democrats' problem is not that they, like "Seinfeld," are a show about nothing. It's that they are a show about everything, or anything. (At one point, the Kerry-for-president Web site referred to 79 separate federal programs he wanted to create or expand.)
