You have to move to the right to stave off a primary challenge, and then try to move back to the middle to make it through the general election. |

Both parties have become more ideologically pure these days. The difference is the Democrats have willing allies to assist the "move to the center" after a primary. We saw that 4 years ago when the media managed to fool a LOT of people into thinking Obama was the left wing socialist he was before, and has been since. |
