A "centrist" in these critical times might as well be a euphemism for "the status quo", which is NOT anything approaching "the change we need". It would be one thing to have an administration fail while trying to provide innovative and bold leadership, but quite another to fail while repeating the mistakes of history. Of course we're all getting ahead of ourselves, Obama hasn't even taken the reins yet... but we can see how concerned people are. Obama has shown he can talk the talk. Can he walk the walk?
