What a pantload! He starts out by using Chris Shays as an examplar of the “center-right”?
Then he goes on to say: “The decline of Republican strength occurs by having strong Republicans become weak Republicans, weak Republicans becoming independents, and independents leaning more Democratic or even becoming Democrats.”
And concludes: “This is a portrait of an electorate moving from center-right to center-left”
No.
It is a portrait of a Republican party that has carried the banner of conservatism, but has failed to live by it’s principles. The electorate hasn’t changed, the GOP has.
He's got a point: Joe Lieberman, Zell Miller. Oh, wait. . .
