As the primary season moves into overdrive, it's good to consider viewpoints from the many sides of the political kaleidoscope. In particular, there are many blogs and websites dedicated to the viewpoints of centrists, moderates, and independents. These resources may use detailed research and lengthy prose to outline problems, discuss candidates, and provide opinions on what will happen as the election season unfolds.
However, today there was an interesting article posted at http://centralsanity.blogspot.com/2007/11/keys-to-white-house.html which uses a relatively simple approach in determining how the Republicans may fare in the general election next fall.
The introductory paragragh says so much:
"As we head in to the 2008 campaign the pundits are trying to analyze who will win the White House. The problem of course is that partisanship is hard to weed out and there are many changing factors to consider."
Based on the approach used in the article, it appears the Republicans have about an even chance of winning the White House in 2008. Surely we can do better. We must get a Democrat elected president in 2008, as well as more progressive candidates elected to Congress.There will be more of these blog entries posted here on a regular basis over the coming months.

The other night I almost registered the domain name TheModerateProgressive.com, hoping someone would make a blog out of it.
Hey, old timers in ClarkWorld, remember all the great things The Moderate Independent said about Wes? Ahhh...the good old days. If I could relive August through January 2003-2004, I probably would. Such excitement...such anticipation...no fear...just hope. Plus, my legs were whole, LOL.

It has become clear that it make no difference.
spoke on BookTV from the Miami Book Fair today, had an interesting perspective on the difference between partisan politicians and people he referred to as "polarizers." Thomas's book is "Common Ground" and he said essentially that partisan politics and the dialogue is brings to our democracy is important, but polarizers don't help anything but themselves.
Proud to be an American.
Thanks for posting this, and welcome!
