Jonathan Darman spells out in print this week what political strategists and experts have long understood (including the Democratic Party strategists who soft-pedaled big-government, illiberal collectivism and put forward social conservatives in key districts in 2006):
This is a center-right country, and Democrats ignore this at their own peril.
Not that Darman completely buys his own argument. He probably won’t have to sacrifice his privileges at the liberal lunch counter after concluding his piece with a paragraph about Barack Obama’s “interesting opportunity” “to sway the center’s notion of the proper role of the state.”
