#6 Jeff,
Pretty astute analysis of Mr. Emanuel, except that I disagree with you on one point. I think this is now a center-Left nation, not a center-Right nation. I used to be an academic Marxist years ago and I know how THOROUGHLY the socialists have penetrated and own the educational system and media in this country. Most of these kids coming out of HS and college are very well indoctrinated in the Soft-Left and many, in college flirt with or go over to the Hard Left.
Obama will govern from the Left, not the center. Do not underestimate Nancy Pelosi, who really is the most powerful person in Washington, despite her incompetence. And since Obama used to be a member of The New Party, an offshoot of the Democratic Socialists of America, he has more in common with Nancy Pelosi than you think. She too at one time belonged to the Democratic Socialists of America and had to give up her membership to become House Minority Leader.
