In 2004, the most important dividing line went right down the middle of Ohio by less than 100,000 votes. If the election were held tomorrow we know that line would veer enough to the left to change the outcome. What interests me as an ostensible centrist is what makes those swing voters tick, what they want to hear in November, and whether they are happy with what they are hearing from the incumbents on both side of the aisle. The right says Bush is right about everything and deserves the center's support. The left says the center should join in the righteous crusade to depose the evil neocon regime. I don't think the center is very impressed with either choice. Neither one has built a lasting majority, no matter how loudly they proclaim their virtue in their own circles. So what will turn them on, assuming I am correct that those two choices have failed?
