I knew that was coming 
The reason for my position is I don't like the entire agenda that the Democrats have. I like to think of myself as an Independent-thinking Democrat. I do not want the extremes in either party to have much control. While I do not like a lot of Tom Coburn's politics, I am not much of a fan of dyed-in-the-wool liberals such as Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank (though he's in the House), just to name a few.
Of course, it shouldn't be suprising since I have several Republican social views.
I'm still thinking about it, though. I haven't made up my mind just yet.
Is that really a fair description of Reid considering he's pro-life and pro-NRA? (Partisan rant on) It's relatively hard for a Democrat to earn a moderate (or even "not a hardline liberal") label. All a Republican needs to be considered "moderate" is be even nominally pro-choice. Find one that's also even marginally supportive of gun control and we'd annoint them as the second coming of Nelson Rockefeller. (Partisan rant off)
