The Center?

The cover story on the next TIME magazine is about the midterm elections pointing to a desire for politics to return to the center of the spectrum.

I don't think the center is what we got.

Check out this article where one "centrist" (cough...cough...) Democratic leader endorsed another for House Majority Leader. Soon-to-be Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi endorsed Rep. John Murtha as the next House Majority leader. Murtha wants to bring home the troops from Iraq. Sounds very centrist to me...

Thankfully Murtha will probably lose to Rep. Steny Hoyer.
