Which should in theory make the Democrats the more natural choice for that moderate majority.

Gah, when oh when will the Democrats finally manage to wring mainstream, moderate America from the firm grasp of the GOP?
You hit the nail on the head Louis, that is exactly why the loudspeakers for the D’s need to be phased out and replaced with some that are less extreme liberal and more conservative and moderate. Heck, I think a decent D candidate could clean house against the unpopular GOP, but there doesn’t seem to be any D’s that the majority of people can trust to represent them right now.
