If I'm pleased at all its being vindicated by the above article. Pandering to the left will get you squat. Those of us who never have had an affinity for cocaine know that. Bush gambled and lost. And then Rove wonders why millions of the religious stayed home on election night in 2000.

Here's a clue.

40% of the nation is liberal. 40% is conservative. You have have to "pander" to the right or the left in order to get a slim majority of the remaining 20% of moderate voters, and win the Presidency... unless of course, you have constituents who can be classified "pompous asses" that stay at home when their candidate doesn't conform to 100% of their personal agenda.

You're right, that's why Bush doesn't "pander" to the left at all he cater's to the middle, you know the fence sitters...

It's a different political arena, ya better recognize that!
