After Barack Obama's re-election victory in the 2012 Presidential Campaign, it's easy to forget that, not too long ago, the Democratic Party struggled at the polls for over a decade.

But Al From remembers.

In 1984, he led a small band of governors, US senators, and members of Congress to organize the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC). Their mission: to rescue the party from the political wilderness, redefine its message, and, most importantly, win presidential elections.

Join Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation Chairman, Red Cavaney as he takes the stage with Al From to discuss From's new book, The New Democrats and the Return to Power. From is one of America’s premier strategists and policy entrepreneurs with a track record of injecting innovative ideas into the national debate, turning major national institutions around, and changing the course of American life. He has appeared on a number of television programs, including Morning Joe, Press Pass with David Gregory, The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell Reports, and Up with Steve Kornacki.
