Matthew Yglesias posts once again on the idea of a moderate party. I really really like this idea a lot. As I commented there: I love this idea more every time you mention it. In fact it may be my favorite idea i've seen bouncing around the blogosphere. However, I do think its a lot more strong when applied to the senate where incumbants have up to 6 years before having to face reelection and are enough of superstars in politics to fundraise on their own.
