In 2012 election centrists move left as independents stay split.
Posted: Nov 3, 2012
centrists and independents this year have changed from nearly identical to become two very different groups."
"...self-identified independent voters—who now make up 40 percent of the electorate—have been evenly divided or edging toward Romney."
"Overall, independents are closer to Republicans on economic issues, closer to Democrats on social issues and they are the least religious voter cohort overall. Not incidentally, registered independents now outnumber Democrats and Republicans in five states up the northeastern seaboard, thanks in large part to the rightward drift of the national GOP over the past decade. But now, due to the rise of the Tea Party, an increase in the number of independent conservatives have moved that cohort slightly to the right..."
What am I? :) I'd flirted with the notion of calling myself centrist for about 5 minutes after reading about it, then forgot all about it. Until I saw this article.

I Will Be So Glad When The 2012 Election Is OverFeb 29, 2012
I'm to the point where we will either have a republican in the White House who doesn't have a clue or the cajones to do right by the American people....or we will have another 4 years of President Obama who has done very little but spend spend spend...which I grant that Bush started but Obama has taken it to a whole new level.

Dems Repubs And IndependentsJan 18, 2016
Typically I decide to vote person by person, not party line.

Keep the status quo because that is what got us where we are and we don't want the idle able bodied to take it away. Work hard and you'll rise to the level your own abilities let you. Republicans: I worked hard for thi ...

To Be Honest, I'd Be Fine If We Split The CountryDec 08, 2015
Split it top to bottom in the middle so each new country has a coastline, and borders with Canada and Mexico. Let the liberals migrate to Liberalania, and conservatives to Conservania. Independents can choose, but the choice is irrevocable. Then, let's see which nation prospers and which does not. First, I know where most independents will choose to go, and it ain't Liberalania. Second, I advise Conservania, as its first official act, to build a very, very, ve ...

Palin-Cain 2012Oct 05, 2011
In the near-absence of any sign that Sarah Palin is actively considering a GOP primary campaign, the good folks at Conservatives4Palin come up with this alternative scenario to keep hope alive: [T]he possibility of an independent run does make sense and to delay the anouncement of her candidacy may simply be part of a bigger plan. Sarah Palin promised this to be a very unconventional election cycle. Creating a third party fits that narrative. ... Political parties always fear a rogue thi ...

took lessons from the past, sued early and often, and on Wednesday morning we knew who our new elected officials were. From Reuters: "Voting-rights advocates, along with the U.S. Department of Justice and some political party officials, tackled potential electoral problems early this election year. Judges blocked stringent voter ID laws, lifted registration restrictions and rejected limits on early voting. As a result, Election Day 2012 escaped the legal dramas of the past. While ...
