I agree with you, Mercy. /faints
To me, the political graph looks like a normal distrubution curve - the standard bell shape. The top and bottom 5% run the parties of either side. And because that's the case, it's hard to run as a centerist candidate, because you have to have the party support first.
I really, really, really wish that there were a viable third party option, however, the two dominant parties have worked together to put a stop to that pretty much. Isn't it amazing that they are "bipartisian" on that deal?
I get all choked up when two of my favorite posters find common ground. My work here is finished. Up, up, and awaaaaaaaay.
