Does such a thing exist?

 Supporting the war effort and dismissing the president in a single breath won’t win you many friends around the blogosphere. But perhaps this is the niche that the “Center-sphere” will carve out, if such a thing is to exist. After all, when both sides are screaming at you, you may have done something right (despite Matthew Yglesias’s reservations).

 So what say you folks?  I think the Left (and it tends to come from that direction) has a fair argument when they say that war support often gets cloaked as “moderatism,” whereas the critics often get Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) thrown in their face.  Is that fair?

But more to the point, is there a “center” growing in the blogosphere?  If so, well what role can it play other than a contrarian one? 

UPDATE:

Mr. Donklephant himself, Justin Gardner, has a great point on this topic:

I think there is a center-sphere, but it’s much more hard to nail down than your traditional left/right blogopsheres. Particularly because there are fewer unifying factors involved. We aim to keep people honest and potentially give rise to a third way, but that can mean many different things ultimately.

Another thing, I don’t think war support is “moderatism” and I think BDS is an easy thing to say to people you don’t want to listen to. In the end, we’re talking about a body politic that is incredibly diverse but is being represented by two very specific points of view. Which is one reason why I think the moderate blogosphere will only grow, while the others will start to shrink eventually. Because in the age of information, the best ideas (not ideology) win.

At least that’s my hope.
