Good Question. Perhaps the fact that he would not be "their humanitarian" would make him a less suitable humanitarian, if that appelation fits. Remember how WJ Clinton, womanizer, was given a pass by the Feminist lobby? He might have been a jerk, but he was "Their Jerk."
My observation is that if the Democratic party wants to win in 2008, they will construct a platform, starting yesterday, that appeals to the strong centrist sentiments in this country. Divorce their extreme left and capture the moderate vote. In doing so they will steal a march on the Republicans, who will probably have a hard time divorcing the extreme Right, if that is even an aim.
WJ Clinton seems to have attracted any number of moderates.
We shall see. A chance for the party of FDR to show its quality.
