About Us

The Centrist Voice is a blog devoted to providing insight, analysis and opinion on the latest political news in the United States. Our contributors range from moderate to liberal in their political beliefs, but they all recognize the need for compromise and and centrist views in the political arena. They adhere to the belief that the Democrats aren’t always right and the Republicans aren’t always wrong.

Our work has been featured in US News & World Report’s Washington Whispers, C-SPAN’s Presidential Debate Hub, C-SPAN’s Vice Presidential Debate Hub, and South Dakota’s largest newspaper The Argus Leader.

Ms. Nikki is a regular contributor to The Centrist Voice who monitors the Midwest. She was embedded in Denver to cover the 2008 Democratic National Convention and now monitors voter attitudes toward more superficial aspects of politics. In addition to this, Ms. Nikki writes a regular column called, Angry Black Woman that is part Oprah, part Star Jones and part Shirley Chisholm.

Doctor T is a Brit who teaches American politics to Americans. He spends a lot of time trying to persuade students that Americans are NOT stupid, and trying to get them to see that the civics they learned in High School, not in the least about the Electoral College, has little to do with the way American politics really works.
