Sorry, gonna have to disagree with you here, or at least caution you (and the talking heads, not that they'll listen) against drawing conclusions based on the wrong reasons. I think you're too strongly correlating voting Democratic with someone's position on the right/left continuum. Goes back to the old Democrat from Texas vs. Republican from Vermont argument. Who's more right in that case? Probably the Democrat. So the vote comparison is irrelevant at best, misleading at worst.
Perhaps you're right, but I doubt it. Did you read the youth numbers in a previous post? Or read this from Kel. I think the days of the Republican majority are coming to an end, just as the days of the Democratic one did a quarter decade ago. This is the usual cycle, and comes about for the usual reasons: abuse of power and a new generation of people without the buttons to push that help give that power to the party currently in control.
I'm not disputing you on that at all, but again, you're trying to make an argument about where the country is on the right/left spectrum using voting patterns for the parties as your backup. My point is that there is very little correlation between right/left and Democrat/Republican. You cannot say that one is at a certain point on the scale based on that same point for the other.
Ah, but the "center-right" arguement is the Republican's arguement, which is what I'm talking about. They are the ones who are wrong, not me, and they are the ones who have, up till perhaps now, have framed most discussions on politics which have been had in America. So the country itself thinks that it is more conservative than it actually is (regardles of party) mostly due to the GOP and media gatekeepers telling it that it is, rather than actual stands on the issues.
I hope the US moves away form being a right nation but I don't think it's quite there yet...
