The Democratic Leadership Council and the Progressive Policy Institute sponsored a post-election policy forum to analyze the results of the 1994 midterm elections. In opening remarks, DLC chair David McCurdy described the Clinton administration as confusing to the electorate in trying to create moderate and liberal policies at the same time.
