From Arianna Huffington’s Memo to Obama: Moving to the Middle is for Losers: “I can unequivocally say: the Obama campaign is making a very serious mistake. Tacking to the center is a losing strategy… Running to the middle in an attempt to attract undecided swing voters didnt work for Al Gore in 2000. It didnt work for John Kerry in 2004. And it didnt work when Mark Penn obsessed with his ‘microtrends’ and missing the megatrend convinced Hillary Clinton to do it in 2008.”
