“I know the Democrats are getting all ready, they are measuring the drapes and getting the carpet all ready for how they are going to take over the White House, and I think they are going to get a big surprise,” Romney told a crowd gathered at a golf course. “America is not happy with how the war in Iraq is going, and is angry. But America is not about to take a sharp left turn and put somebody in the White House who would turn America into a European-type state.”

I actually think Romney has a point in there, its one I have been making for a bit on here. The country is ready for a “change” in leadership and are looking for alternatives. That doesn’t mean they are ready to start going completely to the left though. If anything I think the country is moving to the center with two extreme and highly organized flanks that will spent the next year annoying the daylights out of them.

Romney on the other hand should take some advice. He is courting the conservatives for the primary, I understand that. At the same time just as Democrats need to think “moderation” so do Republicans.

In my opinion every campaign manager out there should be reciting one single mantra “moderation”.
