I also agree that the majority of the country is Middle of the Road.

If the Lincoln Party is a more centrist party that will allow the Liberals to drag the middle farther in our direction. I think it will take a decade, that's two election cycles, for the LP to materialize as a power base and when it does it will be far less RWNutz giving the Democratic Party breathing room to bloom IF we take advantage of it.

We go work to do.
