One observation I would venture: 90% of the people think they are right in the center. :)

Rather than trying to define the center by Democrat or Republican, I think of the center as ideology. Now, everyone's definition of 'center' is gonna be different, but I think that part of the problem (and opportunity) is that the 'center' now straddles a few of the big planks of both parties.

I believe that the definition of a 'moderate' is someone who wants the basic tenets of both the Demo and Rep platform: strong fiscal responsibility and strong defense coupled with social programs that help deserving individuals and recognize that inequities need to be recognized and addressed. Unfortunately, the Demo/Reps have us convinced we can only have one or the other, which is wrong. You just can't go hog-wild on either.

Of course, I probably suffer from the same aforementioned disease; thinking my views are the definition of moderate.
