One night while listening to Frank Sinatra with a glass of scotch, all this talk of values and the future of the Democratic party got me thinking. Aren't there any young up and comers in the party that might embody all that Democrats used to be, and what Democrats will one day become again?
Democrats who remember when jobs paid good money, meals were homecooked, and neighborhoods were actually neighborhoods. Democrats who remember a time when our culture wasn't so coarse, when the butcher was just down the street, the school down the block, when our celebrities had more class than crass.
Rat Pack Democrats.
