[quote=Anonymous]The idea of a “moderate” was a little illusory because historically a lot of it was southern Dems who hadn’t yet realigned to the Rs after the Civil Rights movement and then liberal Northeastern Republicans got kicked out of their party, and Gingrich turned up the heat on partisan politics. Plus every 10 years the gerrymanders get worse and worse so there is no constituency for moderate politicians. Basically elections have become more partisan and more nationalized— I’m certainly going to vote for MD Senate based on who I want to control the Senate which is not something that would have been common 20 years ago.
