Going to the center, what a novel idea

[elemnopee]

Pundits and Politicians are so quick to jump on the perceived value gap demonstrated by the presidential exit polls. Are these the same polls that pundits criticized for distinctively showing a Kerry victory in key battleground states? YES.

No one is worst than us Democrats with this perceived values gap, it usually goes something like this:

“Hey I got a novel idea, lets be more centrist and try and steal Republican voters since those polls say we can't get anyone to be passionate about our issues.”

Right wind punditry has been talking about a values gap for quite some time, vindicating them is the worst thing Democrats could do. 49 percent of Americans voted for a liberal Massachusetts trial lawyer, who, in between wind surfing and running billion dollar ketchup plants, devised new ways to fund welfare queens with Ted Kennedy.

Instead of pulling Democrats to the right maybe some one could devote some energy into ensuring no one has to ever stand in line for 5 hours to participate in the democratic process.
