Center Of Gravity

Jeff Lemieux at the Centrist Policy Network makes an interesting point about the nonpartisanship of the California recall election

The two apparent front runners, Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger are probably too moderate to win a primary election among their respective parties' core voters. Bustamante may be too pragmatic and insufficiently anti-business for California's left. Schwarzenegger is probably too moderate on social issues to satisfy the religious and cultural right. Maybe this weird election will have a silver lining, showing that many voters gravitate toward moderates not usually seen on the ballot.
