The American people want change in our national government. That much seems clear, at least, from this year’s election. Most Americans, whatever their political leanings, are sick and tired of the status quo in Washington. Americans are starting to identify as moderate and independent rather than liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican. This is the new center of American politics that in Washington seems drowned out by the left and right but is larger than either of them.
