The 3% solution
To all my hard right Republican friends, sometimes called cultural conservatives.
It only takes a 3% swing to lose the executive.
Bold is good when you have a mandate. But bold must be in programs that are likely to have positive MEASUREABLE results.
Other wise you sow the seeds of your next defeat.
Remember the middle. It is where you win and lose elections.

Classical Values has something to say on the subject.

Main Stream Media think they are the middle too.
They are no more correct than you are.
Think of how the Senate/Presidential race went in Illinois. Bush got 45% of the vote - 2,313,415 votes. Keyes got 27% - 1,371,882 votes. If you parse the numbers about 130,000 voted in the Presidential race that did not vote in the Senate race (more unhappy Republicans?).
Keyes didn't get the votes of the Jack Ryan Republicans. It shows.
Thank you kindly for the link! There must be a mathematical formula of diminishing returns in there somewhere. The more extreme the extremes, the more the extremes repel the non-extremes. They drive away more people than their numbers bring in. Thus, Michael Moore can draw a crowd -- and simultaneously drive twice as many voters into the opposite camp.
