The best thing that the parties can do in 2008 is move to the center, there is no doubt about that.
The GOP should nominate someone along the line of Governor Romney, Senator Hagel, Governor Pataki, Mayor Giuliani(who of course is least likely to get the nomination out of these).
The Democrats should move into the south east and midwest and nominate people like Senator Bayh, Governor Warner, Governor Richardson and perhaps even Vilsak.
Amen...
America would be a better place if the likes of Bayh, Pataki, Warner, Hagel, Lieberman etc… lead their respective party’s it might bring an end to the bitter partisanship that been a feature of American politics sine the late 1980’s.
Sadly I’m pretty certain that Dean will throw himself into the nomination battle an while he’ll probably lose he’ll force the other candidates to do little more than hurl abuse at the Republicans.. the same is possible with the likely entry of Rick Santorum into the GOP nomination battle…. [sighs… gets up from his computer and walks out of the house and into the fall countryside where there might as well have never been any presidential election].
