Okay, let's say you have two candidates:

The first candidate is a moderate southern democrat.
In 2000 Gore was seen as neither "moderate" nor "southern" by the average voter.

Which says a lot about your "average voter."
It shows that the average voter remembered Clintonian prosperity well enough that it still narrowly delivered the popular vote to Gore, inspite of Gore not carrying those two qualities.  Also, terms like "moderate" and "southern" cannot be applied in absolute terms, mind you.

Nice try turning that around, though.
