Will moderates on both sides decide the upcoming election? |
|
When you look at the internet blogs, which in general lean a little more towards the non-centrist branch of which ever side they belong too, all the possible presidential candidates are hated. Will this be the election of the moderates?

1. Every election goes to the candidate who takes more of the middle. |
|
It's a sine curve. Every candidate tries to own the middle.

2. Unfortunately this is the prevailing stratagem of the corporate parties |
|
And it's worked so well the last two ... granted both were stolen, but still, the vested $ interests don't want a genuine liberal, hence none of them are "electable."

That word has absolutely no meaning to me.
Does "moderate" include enforcing laws, all laws, top to bottom? Does it include a "no tolerance" policy against politicizing the justice and military branches? Does it include lots of sunshine on all branches of governance? What about the market: what's a "moderate" position on economic policy. For that matter, what is a "moderate" domestic policy and foreign policy?
Moreover, is the assertion that ",...all the possible presidential candidates are hated,..." a moderate one?
