As far as I am concerned, it is impossible to tell where anybody is moving especially the party as a whole. There are so many groups with so many agendas that I have no idea where the actual center of the party would fall. Some groups get more press and may seem to have more influence, but what does that say about the beliefs of the entire party?

The country is the same way to me. There are too many issues and too much noise in the way for me to see what I think is anywhere near a true statement about the country's ideology.

Groups are all over the map because they may seem to reflect one ideology on one issue and a different one on another.
Sorting all that out into an overall center is beyond me. One day the center seems to be here, and then it seems to be there.

Don't confuse the center with where you are looking because you are naturally going to notice the loudest group. They seem to be bigger than they really are in a lot of cases.
