The "need" for the Republican candidate to "pivot toward the center" was premised on the notion that all he would do was deliver a "political"message with specific issues and positions on those issues each designed to appeal to some portion of the electorate. The selection of Ryan as a running mate has mooted all that. The debate that will now occur over Medicare, Obamacare, entitlements, the deficit and the national debt will be one on our national identity. Obama was right about one thing: the campaign is about two different visions for America. The Romney-Ryan team will articulate those visions in a way that I believe will be Reaganesque and lead the vast majority of Americans to adopt their, and our, vision of what America is and can be.
