re: We need a bigger tent - not a smaller one.

You make a good point.

But do you bring more people to the tent by sticking to your principles and saying what you really feel? Or do you bring more people by moving away from the center and towards your opponents, even if it makes you look like a phoney?

I don't have the answer. But it appears, to me at least, that Bush won (despite disapproval for his policy) primarily because he really does believe in his (misguided) policy. He came off as real, and that means a lot to a lot of folks as they step into the voting booth.

Is the actual policy more important than the perception of commitment? I don't know.
