I don't think the Dems would like that matchup at all, precisely because the middle would be in play. To win, they need the R's to nominate a polarizing candidate who can be marginalized among the political middle.
Could this be the story?

Right now I think the dearest wish of the Democrat apparatchik would be Hillary v. Romney in 2012.

That was my point. Romney would be the perfect Republican candidate for the Democrats. Much better than McCain, who is largely pro-life, did not vote for HealthControl, and has served his country. Romney’s support of government dictated HealthControl would lose the middle for sure.
