Poll question: Which candidate will move furthest to the right in the General Election

Most candidates make a move to the center during the general elections. Which one will go the furthest right? I'm not trusting Obama. I think he's going to say what he thinks he needs to win the election. And how much more right can Hillary go?

1. Hillary will make a hard right turn

Maybe she will bring Bush 41 back as head of the CIA
BWAAHAHHAAHAHA

3. I asked who will go the furthest right.

Hillary is going to be even more pro-war and Pro-corporation than she is now?

8. Good point. Perhaps if she goes even further right she might reappear on the left.

:shrug:

10. Good one.

Maybe the students at MIT can calculate that?

2. "will Move"? good one

[Buzz Clik]

4. No shit. Hillary has far swung enough to the right to pat Limbaugh on the head.

5. Hillary. With help from the moderate Republican Evan Bayh.

6. It won't be Clinton or Obama

Both of them are essentially running GE campaigns now. It will be Edwards, and it's already happening in a small way He's now focusing more on the middle class than on the poor. Lately he's been reducing the emphasisis on poverty.

7. As a leadership member of the DLC:

Hillary, has never denounced this despicable statement from DLC founder Al From:

Al From, the DLC's founder and CEO, opened a freewheeling discussion forum by arguing that Democrat Al Gore made a huge tactical mistake by continually emphasizing that he would "fight for the people and not the powerful" as the nation's first president of the 21st Century.

9. Not Hillary, she already is there, Edwards will move, not drastically, but he will in order to win.

THAT is NOT a condemnation of Edwards, it is acknowledgement of his political astuteness. He knows what it will take to get enough votes to win.

11. Edwards

He's placed himself so that he has no choice.

12. Besides, he ran to the right in 2004

Because that's where he saw the opening. In 2008, there was a hole on the left, and he jumped to fill it.

Edwards is the Mitt Romney of our party. He'll say whatever he thinks it will take to get him elected.
