a moderate. I worry that the DEMS could alienate them by going too far to the left, and hope and pray the GOP alientates them by continuing their tilt to the far right.

I know the more liberal supporters of the Democratic Party hate to hear it (and will probably flame me as a troll disrupter since I am fairly new here...), but the smallest block of voters (21%) are self-professed liberals. If the Democratic Party runs off the moderates, they are doomed to be a minority party.

No, I don't advocate going to the far right, just to the center enough to regain the majority!
