Ok. So the question was thrown out whether the Democrats are "left."
Lets look at it rationally. The Dem's have lost the VAST majority of elections in the last few years. The Republicans (for the most part) are to the Right of the Dem's.
Thus if Republicans are winning elections, the "center" has shifted "right". Which means the average person agrees with the Repub's more than the Dem's. The Democrats have not moved from their origional "left" position, with notable elections by those wishing to hold their constituants. The few left, i.e. Kennedy, are finding their base erroding faster than the damns around New Orleans.
Thus, many of the Democrats are still to the left while shifting to the right due to political pressure. Once Democrats start winning elections one can figure the "center" is moving "left" and thus you can logically argue that the Dem's are becoming less and less "left".
Of course the argument is that the elections are based off of fear, off of lies, or off of simple corruption (tin foil hat's love it here).
