Leej, my friend, nothing is going to rise from the center. Only the Democrats think a center even exists and they move steadily rightward to get there only to find it has disappeared around another corner, over another horizon. If it goes much further, the debate will be over how much of a subsidy to give the rich for providing employment for their servants.

Only if the Democrats lose this election will it begin to occur to them that they have abandoned their constituancy for the sake of a few bucks from the same people who give twice as much to the Republicans. This stated, I still haven't decided whether to vote for Nader or Gore--the issue of the distant future is the revival of democracy, but the issue of the moment is the supreme court.
