I think of it as more New Deal or Great Society mood.

Craig lost me two years ago when she ran ads that basically said she wasn't "that much" of a Democrat. She proved that with her immigration votes & her sudden, shameless flip flop on the issue when she figured out her original position wouldn't get her elected statewide. I just don't trust her.
