Triangulation plus

Richard Vigilante plays dumb in a very smart NRO piece on Hillary Clinton. He points out that, by making the appropriate conciliatory noises about values, Clinton not only can hope to pick up the relatively small percentage of votes she needs to overcome the Republican advantage, but can also force the Republicans to “actually do something on family issues, including some things many Republicans find hard, like maybe a marriage amendment.” Thus, Clinton doesn’t just move to the center, she perhaps forces the Republicans away from it.
