Colin, the biggest problem is that desire to move the other way can become a mob mentality, and everyone ends up running to the extreme end of the scale, and we end up with the need to rebalance again, which means we have a rush BACK to the other end.
There are two trick to this: 1 - will it happen fast enough to get Kerry elected in November, and 2 - will it move slow enough that once Kerry gets elected, that the public doesn't over react and go back the other way within 4 years?

It doesn't matter to me. I don't see it as a problem. I am not intentionally in the middle of these two parties. I just happen to have preferences about the way the world should be which sometimes coincides with Republicans and on other issues with Democrats. More importantly, there are some things that I really don't like in each party's respective platform. It is those things that I'd prefer not to get to.
I no more want 12 years of Democrats than 12 years of Republicans.
Oh yeah, and the presidential election isn't the only thermostat. There is also congress. That will be interesting too.
