Well, I suppose this report is a step in the right direction. Everybody recognizes that the GOP needs its own DLC. I suppose the big difference is though that the GOP has a base that is strong enough to fight moderating efforts while the Dems were demoralized and on the verge of extinction throughout the entire nation in the 1980s, making a shift to the center far easier to sell/push through.
This is why I think it will take even bigger Democratic victories and even more time in the wilderness before the GOP will change.
