73% of moderates - a future necessity for democrats?

[Rockefeller GOP]

"Moderate" is a very subjective term.

Yeah, and it depends very much on specific issues. Am I a liberal or a moderate when I consider myself as a fiscal conservative, but progressive on social issues?

I guess whatever you want to believe you are, but heck, I'd say that seems undeniably more "moderate" than "liberal."  In your own words, you described an ideology that contains half conservatism.
