<<<The placement of the "silent majority" on a "left-right" axis will shift with results and circumstances.>>>

The right wing has really screwed up. The last eight years have been a disaster. Sarah Palin is a joke. Yet, the race is not over. The poll of of polls show a 5-6 point difference. Some very credible internal polls show a 2 to 3 point difference - well within the margin of error.

The right is better organized. They have sound bites that are easy to understand. (We are patriotic and possess American values. They are unpatriotic and hold unamerican values. Drill baby drill.) RW talk radio is passionate. There is nothing comparable on the left. The center left is all over the map. There is no focus. There is no message.
