Interesting. That organization seems to be sinking fast.

Well, I have heard it from none other then Representative Shapiro himself that he has quit the DLC. That base ebing covered, I am, as suggested, all ears.

Does anyone know if Jim Shapiro is still a card-carrying member of the DLC?

Earlier in the year, Dodd’s campaign confirmed that Senator Dodd is no longer a member. That leaves Lieberman, Malloy, Larson? (someone needs to ask about this), Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez, and potentially Shapiro as the only CT officials belonging to Al From’s DINO-sauric organization.

If Shapiro has moved on, I’ll give him a good listen. But if he still supports the DLC agenda, forgeddabout him.

Robin,
Could you explain more about Shapiro’s record on campaign finance reform, and why you consider him to be a conservative?

Not at all impressed with Shapiro. We can and need to do much better. If Shapiro was as interested in invigorating democracy as he is in his suits he wouldn’t have been such a piss ant on no brainer issues like public financing. I think Shays actually may be a tad more liberal than Shapiro as well…
