I was particularly impressed with the opening ceremony (except for stupid commentary by Bob Costas and Katie Couric, in the US anyway), particular from a technical standpoint; the acheivement in stagecraft they accomplished was fitting for the birthplace of theatre.

As long as they continue to vote for people who will not rock the boat, and appeal only to the mythical centre, American policy will not change
I think Bush himself dispels that notion. Bush ran appealing to moderates, but his administration has been one largely influenced by fringe movements.
Nowadays it seems like politicians run from the center but govern from the edge. Kerry's no mega-liberal but I think we can expect a fair bit of liberalism from him. I think presidents have a certain tendancy to want to rock the boat, even if they know they can't get elected that way.
