What Happened to the GOP "Moderates?"

The GOP was supposed to be able to win seats by being "moderate." ie. liberal-light. Let's see how that worked. Not a single House or Senate member left in New England apart from Collins and Snowe from Maine.

Just goes to show you that there is no way a moderate can out-liberal a liberal. Conversely, Democrats won many seats over the past two elections by running conservatives in close races. So once again, conservative ideas still win. (Yes, including the Presidency. Any observer of the debates will tell you that it was impossible to tell who was the conservative and who was the liberal.)
