When rising stars must move to the middle

NIKKI HALEY, YOUNG ATTRACTIVE FEMALE governor of south carolina, is regarded widely as a future star of the republican party, for five reasons. She is 1) young 2)attractive 3) female 4) a minority 5) very conservative. 

Never let it be said that the grand ole party doesn't try to out democrat the democrts concerning young attractive minority female inclusion. Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal; the republicans have a whole stable of young attractive super conservative minority politicians, waiting in the wings, ready to become president.

Not all of them can do it, of course. At one time or another, all these hot young conservative political achievers will have to square off against each other, in the mad scramble for the white house. Rubio, Haley, and Jindal are not the only ones by, far. Don't VP nominee Ryan. Indeed, the G.O.P. is stocking up.

Another thing all these young hot shots will have to do eventually, other than sort themselves out, is realize and accept the fact that nobody who is too extreme, liberal or consrvative, is gonna get elected president in america.

Nikki Haley seems to be very proud of her conservatism. So do the rest of them. They wear it like a badge of honor, as if it is the highest qualification for holding office. Nikki brags about her antipathy for labor unions, the ACLU, government regulation of the economy, and so forth.

You don't hear mitt romney talking like that, do you? Nooooo..mitt, who is now really in the big time, no longer just some rising hip young political star - mitt knows where his bread is buttered; he aint sayin' nuthin negative about the ACLU or labor unions, AARP, or any other liberal organization with membership in the millions.

Rubio...Jindal...Haley...Ryan....they can talk as consrvative as they like - right now. After all, they want to impress the G.O.P. stalwarts and their own little conservative voter base. but jsut wait'll they run for president, and start trying to please all of us...middle of the road, here we come...
