Faced with a divided and shrinking party, and later with a pitched battle against a resurgent conservative movement, Clinton used the image of a political center, a third way beyond liberal and conservative orthodoxies, to advance his strategic goals, define his adversaries, and overcome key political challenges. As appeals to the center helped Clinton to achieve these advantages in specific cases, however, they also served to define the means, ends, and very essence of democracy in ambiguous and contradictory ways. Touching on controversies from the early 1990s over the future of the Democratic Party, racial identity in American politics, the threat of rightwing extremism, and the role of government, Antonio de Velasco show how centrist rhetorics call to transcendence weaved together forms of identification and division, insight and blindness, so as to defy the conventional assessments of both Clintons supporters and his detractors.
Centrist Rhetoric thus offers general insight into the workings of political rhetoric, and a specific appreciation of Clintons attempts to define and adjust to the political exigencies of a critical period in history of the Democratic Party and politics in the United States.
