The median-voter model implies that a political office seeker will:         adopt more extreme views when seeking his or her party nomination           than when running against the other party  opponent.        adopt less extreme views when seeking his or her party nomination             than when running against the other party opponent.        favor extensive government spending because demand curves for               public goods are added vertically rather than horizontally.        favor the private resolution of externality problems rather than                     governmental intervention.
