Yes, that's exactly what that means (as far as the House leadership anyway)... just so long as the 'choice' the voters want to make isn't for moderates or centrists. If both parties move to the fringes, then moderates might 'choose' to disengage from politics... instead of moving away from their core principles in the direction of either fringe. Large majorities of the American voting public when polled, indicate that they support positions falling in the 'fiscally conservative and socially liberal' category. This is one brand of 'moderate'. Another brand of 'moderate' (adding to the overall majority for 'moderates'), identified by positions they support, are 'fiscally liberal and socially conservative'. But very few indeed are either 'fiscally conservative AND socially conservative' or 'fiscally liberal AND socially liberal'.
