State v. The Green Party of Alaska (08/12/2005) sp-5933 We conclude that political parties have a constitutionally protected associational interest in opening their ballots to voters who would otherwise vote in the primaries of their own political parties.37 Before we explain the reasoning underlying our conclusion, we wish to emphasize that this case does not address whether the legislature can prohibit so-called fusion candidates. Indeed, the goal of the Green and Republican Moderate parties is not to associate with the other political partys candidates, but rather to associate with a broader spectrum of voters. Rather, the political parties sought to have their candidates elected by a broader spectrum of voters one which includes voters who might otherwise be unwilling to sign on to the entirety of the political partys agenda or slate of candidates but who would have wanted to support some of the political partys candidates. www.touchngo.com /sp/html/sp-5933.htm   (1915 words)

Though Lincoln, a moderate, eventually sided with the Radicals on a number of key issues, such as emancipation, many Radicals opposed his renomination in 1864 primarily because of their differences regarding Reconstruction. www.civilwarhome.com /republicans.htm   (579 words)

But the Democratic Party, lacking grit, direction, and ideas, will have played little role in the end of the radical Republican Party, nor can it be assumed that Democrats will be the beneficiary.

The Moderate Voice - -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) I suggest therefore that moderates embrace a second principle at the heart of moderate politics — balance.
