I think that depends on your perspective though. In my country, for example, the more conservative of the two main parties is in about the same place as the Democrats on the political spectrum, so we see the Republicans as far-right and America in general as leaning to the right overall.

I thought (as a Republican) the same way Powell did. And yes, I too think the GOP is embracing so far to the right they have become intolerant of and disinfranchising to 35-40% of their party membership (the end result being McCain has lost this election)

We don't "call" ourselves Republicans, we ARE Republicans <g> Yes, the running mate was the start of the end for McCain (whom I had intended to vote for), I think. Looking back over the past couple of months, though, Palin's obvious incompetence turns out to be just a small part of the ultimate turn-off.

i read that the majority here is 'center-right'. still mostly centrists, and a lot of folks who got voted into congress two years ago ran as centrists, and that's why they got in.
hasn't helped much as yet tho.

That seven-point lead is Obama's largest in nearly two weeks." and has been a steady lead for past seven.
