Oh - mathematics state he def. has to win the centrist votes to win the election; that is where 90% of the votes are. But, I have always seen him as mostly centrist in that he believes in Constitutional rights, but with common sense limitations, like gun laws and abortion limits. So, I do not think he ever really played to you, though he said the closest thing to what you believe and still does for that matter.

I also think the press loves to play up minor things because it sells papers.
