I'm not sure about that. I lean to the left but my biggest complaint is how easily democrats get pushed around.. My guess is that after a month of editorials in the WSJ and the constant drumbeat on the trail, they'd offer to vote on a centrist candidate, the republican in office would nominate someone pretty far right, and then to save face, they'd vote anyways and lose the vote.
The American people should have a voice on this matter, and if the shoe was on the other foot, the dems would be saying the same thing.
