I agree here - I think both parties are moving farther from the center than ever before. I think the finger can be pointed at both parties equally. Democrats want to find someone that wholly support their principals no matter what, the GOP want to support candidates that appeal to thier principals. It seems parties have abandoned the idea of restoring balance becuase in the eyes of the democratic party and its representatives there is little room for conservative ways of thinking - same as there being little room in the republican party for liberal thoughts or ideas. Too much back scratching going on, and trying to appeal to special interest groups by both parties. I would love for there to be a candidate that appealed to both parties on some level - but the way the parties are currently structured and organized it will never happen.
However, I do agree with Larry in that I am not at all pleased with the direction our country is going or how it has been guided (or mis-guided) during our current administrations tenure. I am ready for some change (Obama haters are sick of hearing this), and it can't come soon enough.

Be careful what you wish for,you may get it. Change? What kind of change? Nothing specific, just the word change.
I'm reminded of the following story about "change"
A troop of soldiers had been at the front, fighting for months. The general gathered them together and said. I know you're hungry,but we have no food. I know you're thirsty but we have no water. But, you will now get your first change of underwear in six months.
You change with him, you over there,change with this man. etc.
