Recommended: How Democrats Lost Their Way - And How They Can Find It Again

David Ignatius has an interesting piece in today's Washington Post: How Democrats Lost Their Way - And How They Can Find It Again. He talks about Charles Peters and his new book "We Do Our Part".  The essence is along the lines I have been suggesting - that the Democrats have to lose their fascination with and dependence on the wealthy coastal elites and reconnect with the workers in flyover country who were once the base of their party.

The interesting question is: can they do that? Or are they now too embedded in the coastal ultraliberals and their issues to move back to the center?
