The ever-interesting Jacob Levy has a new essay in The New Republic. Note this conclusion:
In retrospect, it appears that the New Democratic moment was a fragile one, and its highlights more than a bit accidental.

The transition could be seen in 2000, Jacob should note--during the Presidential campaign, Gore went from New Democrat to Old Democrat Populist.
