not issues they ran on. LBJ ran on not being Barry Goldwater. JFK courted center so assiduously that the left of his time couldn't tell his debate responses from Richard Nixon's (let me repeat that - Richard Nixon's). Who around here are you going to convince that Clinton ran a leftist campaign in 1992? Didn't he practically invent the DLC? As for FDR, when he ran the first time he ran on balancing the budget and shoring up the nation's banks. That's how he got elected.
