The vast majority of the American People are somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum. However because the political parties cater to the vocal minorities on the fringe they have pulled further and further apart on certain "key" issues while trying to remain near a common ground on the issues the extremists ignore. If Prager's test (http://www.dennisprager.com/areyouliberal.html) actually defined the difference between Liberal and Conservative, then Bush would have won by a significant margin, much more than his 2.5% margin.
