Pete Wilson was a rare bird -- a centrist who shifted right at election time. Most Republicans, conservative or centrist, will either stand their ground or move to the center.

Wilson was the only politico I recall who shifted right.

Wilson was the only politico I recall who shifted right.

And Wilson carried California four times.

The only other politicians to do that in my lifetime in major campaigns (Gubernatorial, Senatorial, or Presidential elections) are Ronald Reagan and Alan Cranston.
