End of Clintonian Democrats?

I had to laugh at the start of this article where democrats in 1996 were calling for the repair of Social Security. Especially Bob Kerrey calling for privitization. If the system isn't in imminent danger now, why was there so much demand for repair then? Sweet Brighid how I hate politicians.

The discussion goes on to point out how the democrats have essentially abandoned the Clintonian style of politics [the Third Way]. I think there may be some truth to this. I'm not sure why they pitched a winning style.
