The Republicans learned after 1964 that "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice" was a loser, so they morphed into the "silent majority" party only four years later, which was later enshrined in the public mind as a brand with "morning in America" and the "bear in the woods" image that Reagan made permanent in the public consciousness. Today, Democrats really have only their personal charisma to run on. Or Bush's unpopularity to run against. But as a brand, the image is a mess.
