Frankly, I don't think there is a "center". What you do have are a lot of people who don't really care who is in office so long as they don't screw things up for them. Bush made that mistake, and it cost McCain and the Republicans the last election. Obama will be fine if he sets policies that make things better for most americans. How he does it really won't matter in the end if things get better. He could frankly nationalize all companies in the US if (obviously unlikely) it resulted on 1% inflation, 98% employment, and a big rise in wages by 2011.

Republican policies have been proven to fail. We know Democratic policies can work if given time and pursued vigorously. Regulation is needed. Taxes need to be raised on the well to do. National Infrastructure and research need to be attended to.

Again, if what he does works, it doesn't matter how many Rush'es and Hannity's scream socialist.
