If you isolate some particular political idea, and some range of attitudes about that idea, you might be able to identify a center.

You could also take two coalitions or groups (like Democrats and Republicans) and assign the center to be somewhere in between them.

But I don't think there is some intrinsic center. The midpoint between different alternatives may be called the center but what alternatives you provide or what issues you consider determines where the center would be. If you try to pick all issues and groups, or even all issues of some importance and all groups with any significant level of support I think its to complex to really have a center.
