| | In Defense of Tactical Voting (Sometimes) |
| | But the Democratic Party is hardly the only danger here and no one has provided a good argument as to why voting for a Democrat causes the same dangers as does becoming one of their spokespeople. | | | If there were no Democratic Party people who were dissatisfied with the status quo wouldn't become radicals -- they would invent a new liberal party. | | | (The Democratic Party's commitment to the basic principles of the New Deal welfare state, for example, is probably today less firm than was that of the administration of Richard Nixon. |

| | The motivating factor in this change was the protest that arose prior to and during the 1968 Democratic convention. | | | Beaten up on the streets and having had their peace plank defeated at the convention, the antiwar faction won one concession from the party regulars: a special committee to review the party’s structure and delegate selection procedures (which they believed discriminated against them). | | | Here they nominate the party’s candidates for president and vice president, adopt a platform, and approve the rules that will govern the party until the next convention. |

| | Western Democrat: Regionalism |
| | I think in the contest of '84 in the Democratic party, I carried every Western state, and it was because I was from this region. | | | I've argued for an East-West strategy for the Democratic party in which the Democratic states east of the Mississippi combine with potential Democratic states in the west, and I think Colorado is a prime example of what can be done out here. | | | Democrats for the West is a new organization composed of Democratic stalwarts such as Stewart Udall, Cecil Andrus and Mike Sullivan, along with state party officials, rising stars, and local activists working to bring together Democrats from across the region to build long-term governing majorities throughout the West â one of the nationâs fastest-growing regions. |
