The funny thing is that I read an article in World Net Daily how the conservatives are splintering from Bush because they think it would be better if he lost the election and that would mobilize them to put a "real" conservative in the white house.   It is amazing how similar both parties really are.

On Imus I hear two viewpoints from the liberal guests.   One states that democrats must go to the middle and pretent to be republicans to get elected.    (the Bill Clinton 1992 approach)   The other viewpoint states that this "Clinton" strategy has led to defeat in the past 8 years and the party should move further to the left.   It appears to me that Kerry is in the Clinton camp trying to play to the center, while Dean, Kucinich, Moore and others believe in the latter strategy.   I also think Bush is using the same strategy as Kerry in trying to play to the center.

Wouldn't be nice if both parties just said what they actually believed in and let the voters decide.   That would be fair and balanced.

The other debate is whether you vote for the person whose ideas you mostly believe in (Nader) or the person more likely to get elected (Kerry)    Pragmitism vs morality - a very interesting choice
