The following letter, from a certain Nicholas Schmutte from Avon, USA, appeared in the latest double issue of TIME magazine, under the heading, "A Voice of Reason". It seemed to me to be a good example of what a 'View From the Center' should be all about. Its author is a self-confessed liberal who's surveyed the political landscape and has come to his own conclusions as to what he believes would be in the best interest for America, from a Leadership perspective, irrespective of whether that potential Leader is Left or Right of Centre ..... "As a bleeding-heart liberal, I rarely vote Republican, but we are at the point where we need to look past special interests - whether corporate lobbyists, union leaders, gay-rights supporters or Tea Partyers - and do what is best for America. Jon Huntsman seems to be that kind of leader, and I would be hard-pressed to choose between him and President Obama in 2012. I hope the media start paying more attention to him."
