I'm a centrist by nature. I don't care for the extremes that exist in both parties. Obama has been characterized as both very liberal and a centrist. I'm inclined to agree with the former after reviewing his voting record - but he's definitely reaching out to the middle. McCain is definitely a centrist based on his voting record - but not as a candidate for President.
So I have had a dilemma. Who do I vote for - the centrist candidate or the centrist senator. Larry Lessig contributed towards my decision.
