Another way of looking at it was the New York Times article "Moderation is no Virtue" which pointed out that the new Democratic Leader in the House is exactly as far left of center as the Republican leader in the House is right of center: "... In all the chortling, a few political realities got lost. Yes, Ms. Pelosi is a liberal's liberal, with a rating from Americans for Democratic Action of 100 percent and a district that gave just 15 percent of its presidential vote to George W. Bush. But she is no more of a liberal than Representative Tom DeLay, the new majority leader of the Republicans, is a conservative, with his zero ratings from the A.D.A. and the League of Conservation Voters. The two representatives represent the heart of their parties' caucuses in the House with far more ideological purity than either party would like to admit." "It's perfectly symmetrical," said Charles Cook, an independent expert on Congressional elections. "I don't know that San Francisco is any further from the ideological 50-yard line than Sugar Land, Tex., is," he added, referring to the hometown of Mr. DeLay. Message 18243679 Both parties are playing to their bases... not the 'center'.
