34. on centrism
Is he centrist by yours? He certainly isn't by mine.

He sure as hell is to the people Democrats supposedly wish to attract. You cant call Bush the bogeyman and then say you're just a little bit further to the left than he is. If those voters won't even accept the utter injustice of disenfranchisement, then they'll see Dems as partisan hacks who scream and yell their hatred. They'll never vote that way, especially with people who keep pandering.

SO then...if that's what Clark supposedly solves...how will they show him as significantly different than Bush? Most of the sheeple won't even pay attention to the fact that Bush was AWOL. The media will key into any "liberal" values Clark has as some sort of inconsistency in ideology.
