Clark,
I have neither the time nor patience to go running around in circles -
again - on topics such as these. It's quite apparent to damned near
everybody that Obama is as beholden to the left as McCain would be to
the right. It's also clear through his voting record in the Senate that
he is left of center.
You can argue all you want about it, but calling the guy a moderate is
not going to fly.
McCain, one could argue IS a moderate, based, again, on his voting
record. He and Clinton are both closer to the moderate (e.g., center)
of the political spectrum. Obama is clearly to the left of center,
which is exactly why he won the Democratic primary. Hillary's big
mistake was thinking she had it all wrapped up and could run as a
moderate during the primaries. She should have run towards the left for
the primary, then reverted back to the center once she had the nomination.
The only problem with that is it makes it tough during the general election.
No doubt, Obama will now start talking "moderate", but his voting record
ranges from the 70% to 95% on "liberal" issues according to such groups
as the ACLU, NARAL, NOW and other groups that appeal to the left.
Either way, I'm swamped with work, so you'll get the last word.
