Obama's ideology is compromise for compromise's sake.

We even manage to do the party system wrong. If we really want political parties that produce reasonable and centrist candidates, letting the candidates be chosen by partisan bases is not the way to go. If party leaders chose candidates, no one like Christine O'Donnell or Dennis Kucinich would see any chance of being candidates.

Yeah.  The way it was 80-100 years ago.

Actually as recently as 1968 for Presidential elections. Humphrey didn't exactly kick ass in the 1968 primaries.
