Three Kinds of Democrats. Ok, Maybe Four.

David Brooks has a typology that’ll allow you to cast your what-the-hell-are-they-thinking-about-Iraq aspersions more accurately. Here’s the punchline:

Those are the three Democratic visions — the good, the bad and the ugly. Right now the Pelosi wing of the party is dominant, and the Cantwell wing is beleaguered. So this is a party teetering on the brink of full-bore liberal isolationism.
Who is going to pull it back? Probably not Wesley Clark. The Clark Democrats are actually the fourth category in the party: the ones who are too mealy-mouthed to take a stand either way.
