So Obama is the crazy left? lol...the democrats are centrist, Obama is about as far left as ...gasp...Reagan

Not all of the democrats are centrist. In fact, the Democratic part is moving further left. The Blue Dog Democrats were the centrist ones and they were decimated by the last mid-term elections. While Obama leans towards the moderate left, he is still left of center, but also significantly more moderate than many in the party such as Pelosi, Reid, and company.

[quote]Keith Poole of the University of Georgia, with his collaborator Howard Rosenthal of New York University, has spent decades charting the ideological shifts and polarization of the political parties in Congress from the 18th century until now to get the view of how the political landscape has changed from 30,000 feet up. What they have found is that the Republican Party is the most conservative it has been a century.....That said, Poole says the data are hard to deny; the polarization is largely due to how far and relatively quickly Republicans have shifted to the right end of the ideological spectrum[/quote][/quote]
