Mayor Nutter said of Arlen Specter’s switch from Republican to Democrat:

But I think it demonstrates that the Republican party is so out of touch that there’s no room for great moderate like Sen. Specter. (LINK)

A “great moderate”? Name one “great moderate” in history. George Washington was the leader of a band of rebels. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln were not moderates. They have firm believes and risked everyting for their principals.

Moderates can go either way. It depends on the wind. There may be effective moderates, but there are no “great moderates”.
