I checked back three years ago and found a post of mine that is still very relevant today: If you look over the pattern of news links as a whole, you will see a picture where self-serving partisan politics are failing on the right, while the left remains disorganized and unsure/unable to create an effective message. That leaves those of us in the center waiting for the following: a) will the right have a sudden revelation that they are going down a self-destructive path and tack back to the middle? b) will the left find a unified message like Clinton's DLC message in 1992 that could unify the MAJORITY of the electorate that now opposes Bush and his policies? c) will a general revulsion with partisan politics spawn a new space in the political center where a dedicated centrist could take a 20-30% moderate base and take 15% each from the right and the left to build a centrist governing majority? Lots of questions, and an interesting path to finding the answers.
