Why did Akin lose in Missouri, by what? 16 points? Because he was too moderate???
One can always point out extremes.

R&R were sold to us as fiscal conservatives, which they are not and pandered to the social conservatives, which most are social moderates.
Had they truly been fiscal conservatives and moved the social message a bit more to the center things may have turned out differently.
Unions and minorities determined this election, they weren't moderates who might've voted republican. Plus the democrats ran a very negative campaign against Romney, who did not adequately respond. One could also make a serious argument that the MSM had a lot to do with determining the election outcome too.
The unions? Come on Wiseacre, you're much smarter than that in my opinion. The unions have been on the decline since the 1980s. Their power is waning and isn't quite the same when compared to the 60's-70's. Their percentage of the workforce is down to around 11%.
Anyway, what I was addressing are how much an ideology can be out of touch with the majority of Americans and that in itself hurts them. To be driven by extremist views will not appeal to the majority. So why do it? Our elected officials are supposed to public servants, not servants to an ideology.
Was Romney a moderate, or not, or does the obvious answer to the question destroy your bullshit meme thread?

you're not too bright are you?
romney was a weathervane and it became more and more apparent as the campaign wore on.
the only people who believed him were the self deluded, like you.
Assuming one bought into your nonsense, which I don't, would being a 'weathervane' prove that he is not a product of hardcore ideologue 'control' as postulated by OP?
Failure is you.
LOL
According to exit polls, Moderates/the center determined the election.
"In effect, the pragmatic center reasserted itself on Tuesday. According to exit polls, a plurality of voters, 41%, were moderates, and they favored Obama by 15 points. In general, voters viewed Obama as more for the middle class and Republicans as tilting toward the interests of the rich. They did not accept Romney's claims that Obama has been an incompetent economic manager; nearly half the voters instead blamed the weak economy on his predecessor"
The GOP's real problem is ideology - CNN.com
Both parties should take note of the voting block known as the center. Both parties have been controlled by the fringe block which really doesn't appeal to the center.
Will the GOP do what they have done when they lose and move more to the right? That would be political suicide.
Will the Dems misread the election results and push a fringe agenda?
Will either party actually make an honest attempt to put country first and seriously work at compromising with the other side to address the fiscal cliff that America has in front of it? If either party wants a future, they should make a strong effort to actually compromise because that's what a huge majority of Americans want.
The future is in the hands of both the left and right, yet the majority is the middle. Who will react to the majority?
The bottomline is, whatever party can appease their base to a point but appeases to the center the most, will become the better positioned to lead the country into the future.

Is that a yes or a no? While you're working on that,
did Romney lose in Florida because he's too moderate? in Virginia? in Wisconsin? in Ohio? in Michigan?

This is way, way too easy sometimes.

Let us be honest
The moderates are just leftists and the true center are Rocked Ribb social conservatives.
The Leftist came out to protect their entitlements and half of them lied and said they were moderate.
Am I right?

Moderates always determine the election.
Those voters who call themselves Independent are the growing voter majority as the those voters who call themselves Republican or Democrat are shrinking.
Read the Crystal Ball, it's not that tough to figure out.
Independent and Moderate are not synonymous.
The moderately intelligent decided the race. I agree.
