Clinton/Gore came out of the DLC wing of the party (which is almost non-existent now), and they ran on a very centrist, substantive platform in 1992. It remains to be seen what the Obama/????? ticket will do. We know that he gives great speeches, but we'll see what happens when the real campaign begins this fall.
