How long will it take for both these Democrats and Republicans to take the sideline and let someone from the middle become the norm....?


On the contrary, both parties have been treading the middle for ages; that's why so many people complain about both parties being the same wine, just a different bottle.

If the Republicans were truly to the right, they would have likely not put the Patriot Act through, nor would they have sent $600 cheques to American citizens. If the Democrats were truly to the 'left' , Bill Clinton would have likely never signed NAFTA.

Both McCain and Obama are in the middle; aside from a few ideological differences, both candidates are courting the center because that's where the votes are.

Edit: What is interesting is how commentators are comparing Obama to Teddy Roosevelt, at least if you know your history on America's political parties.
