Looks like the center in the electorate is roughly 15-20% not strongly allied to either party; they alternately get enamored with then disgusted by one side or the other, rushing back and forth like frantic passengers on a sinking ferry. Obama had a majority of them when his approval rating was 60% then lost them with the healthcare mish-mash. The ranks of moderate politicians shrink with every election, and sensible journalists are definitely a minority in a media world where volume and extremism get the best ratings. Put all those together and you are exactly right, there is no starting point for a viable centrist movement. People like Friedman are engaging in wishful thinking by default.
