Don't get too excited about these moves in foreign countries. The right has a strangle hold here. Even if we were to have a major change of parties in our system come November, we don't have any leader(s) poised to take charge who actually are left of the line.

But go give it a try anyway. Maybe we can inch our way back toward the center at the very least.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
