		<description><![CDATA[As a political moderate the Tea Partiers make me nervous - and not because they represent a serious movement destined to sweep the nation - but because they represent a further fracturing of an already splintered party.  The tent is shrinking - I just don't know if it is a deliberate march towards the narrows or a tripping down the hill in response to loss of influence and power.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=racetothemiddle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7246159&amp;post=289&amp;subd=racetothemiddle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

As a political moderate I really wish our representatives would just represent their constituents and not their political party.  It's simply undignified.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=racetothemiddle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7246159&amp;post=286&amp;subd=racetothemiddle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I have been having a fantasy that Rowling writes another book - this time about James Potter and his family and how they are related to the Gaunts (if they even are, a matter for discussion).  Or a rendition of "Hogwarts, The History" (it might have been quite funny if she had settled Harry in a chair at the end of "The Deathly Hallows" to finally read it).  It would be interesting to know the story of Peeves and the other ghosts. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=racetothemiddle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7246159&amp;post=270&amp;subd=racetothemiddle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
