thanks (to Doug & Ravi). That's exactly what I was looking for. thanks
to Mihaly too.

It seems that the "rational core" of Frank's argument may be that the
DLC shift of the DP leadership has undermined the _enthusiasm_ of the
party's working-class base. Like the "minority" communities, the
working class has found itself having no choice but to vote for the DP
as it becomes more and more like the "moderate Republicans" of the
past and the GOP becomes dominated by the combination of "no new
taxes" supply-side economics and moral posturing (which Dubya
combined).
