Reply #19: It's not about MOVING to the center. It's about CAMPAIGNING [View All]

to the center.

In the primaries he, as a centrist, campaigned to the left, and could do it very effectively because of his personal background in community activism.

Now that the primary is over, he's speaking to the larger audience, and can do so very effectively because he is, and always has been, a left-leaning centrist. All he has to do is express to the center why Democratic principles are better and more effective in dealing with national security, the economy, the environment. He has the skills to do it.

He doesn't need to move to the right, or adopt RW positions to gain the center - merely point out how the right has failed, and thus move the center toward the left.

It's time to bring back the old challenge - are you better off today than you were 8 years ago? I can tell you why you are not.
