Your take is very reassuring----centrist voters will soon know they've been bamboozled.
Liz, the "centrist" voters are the same people who take up two lanes on the freeway, voted for Perot, went 50% for Kerry, elect Teddy, Murtha, Boxer, and Joe Biden, then shop in Wal-Mart wearing sweat pants.
Your faith in their ultimate redemption and their ability to figure this out is heartwarming. But next time you're in the Library, look at a 1955 Readers Digest, and then compare it to the latest issue. There's an awful good chance that our electorate has been dumbed-down past the point of being rationally analyzed.
