	Polimom Says » Is the sleeping giant waking? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		When Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, a Democrat, and Michigan Representative Joe Schwarz, a Republican, were both defeated in primaries over the summer, there was much talk about how the center in American politics was failing, as both political parties were increasingly intolerant of moderates and activists came to wield more influence.
		If it is, though, then we can expect to see a trend back toward the middle by one of the parties… and I’d guess it to be the Republicans, because the Democrats, as a party, have been pretty vocal in their rejection of the center.
		I agree with you that Chafee’s victory, and especially the margin (54% to 46%–what would be considered a solid margin in most elections but is being portrayed as a “squeaker” in much of the MSM coverage) are a hopeful sign that the Republican party seems to still have room for moderates.
