@Steve Hammons
A centrist party? The Democratic Party is simply a more moderate version of the Republican Party. They are both right-wing centrist parties already. Creating a centrist party between such similar ideologies will accomplish more bad than good. It will merely give the illusion of choice.

What people actually want is variety. Kucinich and Gravel are the only real liberals running. If we can convince them to run as independents, after the Dems choose their richest corporate sponsor for the presidency, you’ll have a third-party which stands for something.

Although the Democratic candidates all did a fairly good job in the debate, and they are all reasonably adequate candidates, more choices might be a good idea.

It is unclear if Hillary, Obama, Edwards or any of the others could win in a general election, even under current circumstances. And, are any of them really appropriate for the job? Are the Dems going to blow it again? Possibly.

Where is retired Army general Wes Clark who ran last time as a Dem?

Many Americans seem to want a third-party choice ... not a left or right-leaning party and candidate, but a centrist and common sense candidate.

More on this in the article ...
