HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT GIVE BARACK OBAMA THE ABILITY TO DRIFT FURTHER AND FURTHER TO THE RIGHT
totally agree. Obama doesn't NEED to do this. If he gets the pissed off republicans, the indies and the democratic base, he has got the GE in the bag.
he doesn't need the ones that are further to the right on the democratic platform.
otherwise, there is no difference between our parties and I know, as well as others, that there is a hell of a lot of difference in the party's platforms.
This is how Gore lost. People thought the dems and repubs were the same. How they were so f'ing wrong.
Well, not to be on contrarian, but Gore lost by running one of the most mixed up and passive campaigns ever.
I'm not sure moving the right, or flip-floping really hurt Gore.
The press did a stunning hit job on Gore, remember "I invented the Internet" which HE NEVER said....Remember the whole "Color scheme" thing.
What was STUNNING was, it was so clear BUSH had nothing to offer, except a change from the CLinton Era. I think, in any other year, Gore wins.
He didn't lose his left base, but those who voted for Nader weren't ones he lost during the campaign by shifting the right, they were dissastisfied coming INTO the campaign.
Even so, Gore lost by not getting enough cross-overs and independents IMHO.
Obama & Co. disagree with you. Since you are an angry blogger who doesn't know the difference between mental distress and mental illness and he is the presumptive nominee, I will give him the benefit of the doubt on his strategy.
I am not an "angry" blogger. And I disagree with his his strategy.
