re: >Where I think he is right is that for the Dems to win they need to keep towards the center. I've watched the failed attempts by Howard Dean, Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern. And I watched Bill Clinton win. The center is an ever-moving place but it is where the votes are. ------------------------------------- You sure about that? I mean, for one thing, most people want to get out of Iraq and not go into Iran, but that's defined as "left." Same with universal health care. Yeah... but the left will be redefined many times before the election. And the Republicans are very good at that. Most people WANT to feel that they are the middle, not on the fringe. The majority wanted to get out of Vietnam... and Nixon won over McGovern in a landslide. McGovern offer an exit; Nixon a "secret plan to win". re: Bill Clinton won his first election against GHW Bush, who was historically unpopular and viewed as entirely out of touch. He won his second election against a way-over-the-hill Bob Dole and possibly only because Perot was in the race. He won bottom line. Nothing like a cakewalk. Old Bush wasn't that unpopular but was viewed as out of touch. re: I'm not sure I agree, but fortunately, we don't have to think about the "best candidate," if the current climate holds up another year. Any of our top four guys can win in '08. Everything will change. The weird thing bout the primaries is that you can win and be perceived as losing. Or come in 3rd and be perceived as winning. And the compression of the primary timetable is a wild card. It's a crap shoot. In the national election it's a new ballgame after the candidates are selected. Nobody is going to run away... there will be drama. I agree that the Dems have a lot more to run on... but it will all come down to marketing. My WAG is Hill/Mitt in a photo finish. (Don't hold me to that there is a long road with at least one scandal ahead).
