Well, the paradigm is shifting, I’ll give you that. Typically, the Republican runs from the right in the primary, to the center in the general.

The Democrat runs from the left in the primary toward the center in the general.

McCain, according to this article MUST run from the center…to the right. HORRIBLE move.

This election will swing on taking the cape and mask off of Sen. Obama’s hard left underpinnings. That will win the day, because the center is where Obama needs to make and keep inroads.

McCain must contrast himself against the REAL Obama, and that should be enough for any thinking voter to understand what the choice becomes when you boil the peanuts down past the shell.

We can move to Euro-Socialism, with an antipathy toward Israel, a weakened national defense, and a tax structure mirroring Denmark…OR…we can enhance our economy through sensible trade programs, a tax base that encourages expansion and an integrity toward our allies that can be counted upon.

It’s time for conservatives to play ball with the center, instead of always insisting on the other way around.
