Salt: I went to a wedding last night, and at the ceremony the priest gave this analogy of salt and marriage. Salt is so versatile and can be used to spice things up, put out fires, melt ice....the list went on and on....he lost me though when he compared marriage to curing ham....and for some reason I was dying of thirst by the end of it.
Modern Mobilization: Winning Campaigns Online takes a look back at the 2000 campaign cycle and how uneven the use of database solutions and integrated systems were. There is still much debate 5 years later as to the future of such software and solutions for political campaigns. This is one area where perhaps we can learn from our fiscally conservative market driven friends the Republicans. If more campaigns used such solutions, the increased demand would create a larger market for such services and perhaps set a trend for greater competition which equals a lower cost for product and TADA! You have more campaigns with the ability to afford sophisticated database collection the use of the internet for political purposes will begin to be legitimized.
Centrist Standard Weekly Post: There has been much discussion over on Centerfield about the need for a moderate centrist voice in academia and publishing. The neoconservatives built their foundations on the Weekly Standard, using intellectual thought in publication as the breeding ground for developing and then in turn spreading it's ideology.
Do you think there is a market for a centrist minded publication? Could such a journal/paper/magazine be used to mobilize and energize voters and thinkers towards the center? How could such a publication get off the ground, if at all?

I totally think there is a market for a centrist line of thinking in fact I find more and more of the non-politcal voters are more than anything centrists. They like ideas from both party platforms but are annoyed of having to pigeonholed to a party they would rather be politically involved without having to align themselves to what they see as extremist parties.

I agree with desipolitico. There would be a huge market for this type of publication as many people now pick and choose what issues are important to them. I think that the RNC and DNC are conflicted because they have had to move to the center to accomodate centrist, independent voters while at the same time keeping their base support happy. I have a feeling that people will tire of the parties wanting to work out of the extremes and that a centrist movement will emerge within the next few years.
