the current Republican party in New Jersey

That’s the threshold most users in this T[L]V community would specify as beyond which lies the “far right” [sic].

Rudy may be a moderate candidate, Somebody, but with advisors like Norman Podhoretz, he’ll be pursuing a neocon foreign policy. Also, he has pledged the GOP bigwigs that he will appoint judges like Alito and Roberts. My point? He’s not campaigning as a moderate.

I like Hillary. I may be one of the few, although it may be because, as a Republican, I like her moderate positions overall. Re: Rudy — he’s very moderate on certain issues, but his hard-nosed, Bush/Cheney-aping stance on foreign policy is highly destructive in my opinion, and foreign policy is the single, most important issue of the ‘08 election. Which is why I’m a fan of both McCain’s and HRC’s.

The middle ground is certainly the best place to be for both parties.

However…when the middle ground means actively excluding large chunks of the population which by itself accounts for probably 45 percent of the population one has to ask themselves how long will the middle ground be the desired ground????

By this I mean the Religious right makes up a huge chunk of very disenfranchised voters.

The Far left Animal House for lack of a better description, represents a very large portion of disenfranchised voters.

IF both parties swing centrist.

Hillary is about the only Centrist Democratic candidate which is getting almost NO support here at TMV which tells me most of you commenting are Far Left.

Rudi is about the only centrist Republican Candidate who is getting badmouthed here at TMV which tells me that you all are far left wing commenters.

So just where will the centrist road take us?

My take…….Certainly NOT the promised land.

Most of the candidates endorsed where from New Jersey. If the current Republican party in New Jersey is the future of the national Republican Party, then the Republican Party will be become irrelevant faster than the current trend. The Republicans have zero chance of winning any state wide election in New Jersey even when the Democratic candidate is a corrupt politicians who is an empty suit.

The middle seems to have been stronger in both parties last election. Many of the Democratic pick-ups came in places where a relatively centrist Dem was well-funded.
