Democrats Grumble About Obama’s Permanent Campaign

Beth Reinhard:
“Even as Democrats relish President Obama’ second inauguration, some
party leaders are worried about whether the campaign’s decision to form
its own advocacy group will hamstring future generations of Democratic
candidates… Some activists foresee a power struggle between the national
party, which aims to elect Democrats above all else, and the new group,
which aims to build the president’s legacy — and may have to pressure
wavering swing-state Democrats to tow the unapologetically liberal
agenda laid out in his inauguration speech.”
