Harold Ford says the DLC will be the "policy shop" for the 08 nominee.

This is what I have been saying, and what some have argued with me about. He says it straight out. Also is a 501 supposed to be involved in a presidential race?

"In a lengthy interview last week with a handful of reporters, Ford outlined his plans for the DLC -- ranging from its involvement in the 2008 presidential race to its work as the policy shop for the eventual Democratic nominee.

"This is the incubator," Ford said of the DLC, which was founded in 1985 in the wake of Ronald Reagan's landslide reelection. "If you look at the last ten great domestic policy ideas in the last 10-15 years ... 75 percent have come out of this organization."


If they are officially stating they will be the "policy shop" for the nominee, then I can officially watch what their policy advise is without being told I am wrong.
