David Gergen is a shrewd man......"Exit polls from national elections are revealing. For the past quarter century, self-identified liberals have been the smallest share of the electorate, representing roughly 20 percent or less of voters. But conservatives have not grown to the power they hoped: They reached a peak of 36 percent in 1984 and again in 1994; in November, their share of the electorate fell to 29 percent–smaller than the base that elected Reagan. It is the self-identified moderates who have always held the key: They represented 50 percent of voters in the elections of both 1998 and 2000. Moderates, in other words, are America's swing voters, and as they have shown time and again, they will punish a party that goes too far to the left or right."

Problem with campaign finance reform is that Americans don't give a $hiT about campaign finance reform. It is a liberal issue (which no one cares about anyway, except a liberal). Its also a "crock" when the liberalice gets on their media outlets like the Clinton News Network and tells us that ALL AMERICANS WANT THIS or ALL AMERICANS WANT THAT... BS, the truth is: THEY WANT IT not us. Being a liberal is like having cancer...... its uncurable!

Bush connecting with Black voters. Bush's faith-based initiatives have won him plenty of friends in black churches and those like Caldwell who believe a revolution is under way in African-American politics point to the president's record when he was governor of Texas. He was first elected in 1994 with 15% of the black vote; four years later he won 27%. When it comes to winning black votes, Bush seems to be running on more than a prayer. sunday-times.co.uk
