They blame Clinton for this, or so this guy claims.
Anyone have any insight/thoughts?

This is supposedly a true position held by many of the old guard. I was reading a report yesterday about this and as Clinton was in the White House things did become much more bleak for the Democrats at all levels of government. I do remember the GOP assuming control over the House and Senate over the next few elections, giving the likes of Newt Gingrich a ton of undeserved power. Clinton's questionable past and willingness to play power politics did hurt the party. This is why there is still a division in the Democratic party and you see the DLC developing as an alternative. Interestingly enough, the DLC is stocked with Democrats that are probably more on the right wing than McCain. This is the group that Democrats want to make sure their party is protected from, and Hillary is on the board of that think tank.
