What does running to the center even mean for a Republican in NC these days? 

And no.

Like most Republican politicians, they will  remain open to some deal making
lolwut?
You know. The same way Enzi and Coburn were on Obamacare. "It'd be cool if we could make a deal but we won't." Maybe Gardner and Tillis will be Rove/Cheney Republicans. Very conservative, but not reactionary and probably pretty centrist if not mildly liberal on under the radar non-hot button issues.

Odd. Y'all were running ads claiming they wanted to ban birth control. Now you're saying they ran to the center? lol

well yeah, we all know their stances but in Gardner's case he distanced himself from his Personhood sponsorship.............

While keeping it. Gardner's talents are definitely unique. He's definitely Schrodinger's Senator. Indeterminacy may just be the way we see it as not having lived to see the next enlightenment.  When will that be 20 years from now? 1000 years from now?

Tillis won't. He doesn't have the political skill to be a centrist.

Gardner, though, is a different story.

He'll be both reactionary and moderate, much to the divine praise of TEA party activists. It will transcend our current understanding of reality. Maybe CERN will help understand the Gardener.

We shall see whether any Republican winner votes his conscience or follows the orders of the Koch fronts who want a plutocratic oligarchy in America.

or those 20000 voters in Alamosa, Loveland and Cherry Creek that put him there. Roll Eyes
