America's Race to the Middle

That was the title of an article in yesterdays WSJ . I think this is an interesting and good development. Watching John McCain distance himself from President Bush and the Republican party in general is a fascinating process. This is something that our most successful politician's have been employing for a while. Think Micheal Bloomberg and Arnold Schwarzenegger. New, younger voter's are not looking for old time politics but rather something new and fresh (i.e. the appeal of Obama). Even John McCain has benefited by this over the years (he was always known as a Maverick). It seems to me that Politician's need to start out at the extremes to get their party's nomination, then work themselves to the Middle to win the general election. Anyway I thought it was an interesting article.

Good Luck and Good Currency Trading.
