20. Why equate "Centrist" with "Pro War?"
Why draw a line down the middle and say "everyone over there is evil?"

Most people are against the war? Great! Draw your line between those who do and don't oppose. Do NOT draw it down the center, because if you do, you are slicing away some of your own SUPPORT.

Most disapprove of our nations direction? Slice away those who DO approve.

Most disapprove of this administration? Slice away the approvers.

In this way, your defined base is 55%, 61%, 67%, 83%.

Draw a line down the center and you'll never have more than 50%. NEVER.
