Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland endorses Martin Frost for DNC Chair, according to a press release just put out by Frost’s people.

That’s a pretty big feather in Frost’s cap.

But my question would be this: If I’m not mistaken most of Frost’s tenure in office was under the Democratic majority. Many members of Congress, about whom the same can be said, still haven’t gotten out of the majority mindset, notwithstanding the fact that the Republicans have held the gavel for ten years. So the question: What have the Bush years taught Frost about the Democrats’ future, or more specifically, how they can go about having one?

What’s his critique of the old Dem Majority? What does he have to say to Democrats who wonder whether, in spite of his great Democratic credentials, he isn’t trapped in the old ways of thinking, an outdated mindset?
