    Center left, center right?

    The fact is, this country really doesn't take well to being governed too far from the center. The constitution is written that way. However, it's not about left vs. right, it's about finding solutions that will work. The same old Clinton centrism will not.

    You know the kind of economics that works? Credit unions. Community capital. They work, and "heartland" conservatives love them. Study models like that.
