I was part of a Delaware County Wage Peace & Justice protest that confronted Sestak over his stand on the Iraq War a few years ago. I appreciated the fact that he spoke with us directly before we began our march to his office, but I didn't agree with his rationale for voting for more money for the Iraq War (His explanation was that he wanted to arrange for an orderly withdrawal and not a panicked flight).
No, you're absolutely right. Sestak is by no means a hard-core liberal.

You do realize, Rich, that to the extent Sestak gets identified with YOU -- he loses.

Steve,

We're talking about Dave Broder here. You didn't really expect him to acknowledge that a Democrat is a centrist while his Republican opponent is an extremist, did you? I don't know how Broder ever got a reputation as being some sort of dean of the pundits because ever since I've starting reading him back when WaPo was just starting its slide into oblivion, the man has been a raving idiot. The man is a right wing flack whether he acknowledges it or not, and apparently has been one since at least the Nixon administration according to what I've read of his history.

Broderism is the theory that the metaphysical center is found by pitting Evan Bayh against Jim DeMint.

Is the Dean back from his Pageant of the Tenantry on Beaver Island? I mean his annual vacation to the family compound overlooking Lake Michigan, that he writes about this time of year--his encounter with Real Americans.
I'd like to see him do a Man Who Comes To Dinner in East Grand Rapids instead; to get stranded in his former home town and spend some time watching actual local news or reading a newspaper in which the Chevy ads outnumber the Lexi. He can see that moderation in action: Democrats acting like Democrats and Republicans acting like lunatics.
The joke here in Michigan is that the two reactionaries running for Gov on the GOP ticket canceled each other out: Mad Pete Hoekstra and AG Mike "Can't Keep His" Cox "In His Pants" (he had to acknowledge an extramarital affair that lasted TEN YEARS) did such Bob Forehead dives to the bottom to appease the Tea Party that a mild-mannered computer tycoon walked right by them to the Gov nom.
Now the TP's can't get past the idea that they might have to vote for someone without foam around his mouth

Sounds like Broder just reached into his jar of cookie-cutters and whipped out another Broderism column. The guy seems to do his best work with Play-doh.

Broder has been phoning it in for some time, and because he's gotten more lazy and one-note, he's a classic Overton Window victim. Split the difference and call yourself Solomon.

Besides, as any REGULAR attendee at the BETTER Georgetown dinner tables knows, there really is only ONE governing class, and of COURSE it has its finger on the Real Center of American Politics. I mean, who else could possibly be wise enough?

Finding the pony in the pile of shit, I can only say that an ever- dwindling portion of the populace watch/read what passes for "journalism' these days.

As evidence, I was recently at an event, and did some off the cuff poling. Few of these Average Americans knew who Glen Beck was, and didn't remember who ran against Obama two years ago.

Let's not all move to Sweden just yet. . .

High Broderism, otherwise known as journalistic laziness. His position has been a sinecure for decades now, at least.

The near-certainty that, come next year, PA's Junior Senator will be Pat Toomey + its Governor will be Tom Corbett is nearly enough to convince me to move to Joisey.

P'tooey,

Agree with gaga94, Broder is journalistically lazy. Must keep dinging these guys like George Will, Krauthammer, Broder, et al., who attempt to legitimize lies and innuendo with intelligence.

....Take Sarah Palin seriously.

.... showed off a public figure at the top of her game -- a politician who knows who she is and how to sell herself, even with notes on her palm.

This was not the first time that Palin has impressed me. I gave her high marks for her vice presidential acceptance speech in St. Paul. But then, and always throughout that campaign, she was laboring to do more than establish her own place. She was selling a ticket headed by John McCain against formidable Democratic opposition and burdened by the legacy of the Bush administration.

... to display the full repertoire she possesses, touching on national security, economics, fiscal and social policy, and every other area where she could draw a contrast with Barack Obama ...

Freed of the responsibilities she carried as governor of Alaska [ain't that convenient?], devoid of any official title but armed with regular gigs on Fox News Channel and more speaking invitations than she can fulfill [$$$], Palin is perhaps the most visible Republican in the land. [Your point being...?]

broder's mythical center is so far right that an actual centrist like sestak looks like an extremist to him...

David Broder has been a willing Republican stooge since at least 1962, when he wrote articles favoring Nixon for Governor of California. Not one of his columns of "advice" going back to 1969 has ever been accurate, and all can be defined as "Democrats are going to be in trouble unless they adopt Republican policies and grant that the Republicans are the ones who really know what is what."

Broder is a moron and the sooner the senile old fool goes where senile old fools eventually end up, the better.
