If they did, McCain would have won. (for instance).
Each side claims to "like" members from the other side that trend towards the middle.
But when their own side does it they treat them like lepers.
For every R vote lost by McCain for being too far "left", he would need a D vote from those claiming to want a candidate in the middle.
and you've been right, but the Dems not only brought new kids to Washington, but also Governors' Mansions as well.
In a couple of years, this will impact more federal elections. And as is usually the case in sports, manufacturing and politics, copycats emerge...I'm looking at GOP changes going forward.
I think (hope) this is a harbinger of voters worn out from the fringe crap. I believe we saw a surge in younger voters, hope this is the result...that it is what voters want going forward.
Peace. Love. Woodstock Nation.
