If Senator Obama continues to move to the middle on issues, won't he run the risk of alienating the progressive left, the very constituency that made his candidacy possible? This would be very dire because the left is energetic, vocal, and mobilized, whereas the middle is quiet, fickle, and may or may not vote in the election. A better strategy is to bring the middle to the left, because people are ready for a change in that direction. If the Obama positions become muddled, the left will become disenchanted and the middle will become more apathetic than they already are. The dream of real change in Washington will go into the history books!
