McCain is a moderate republican. We don't have many of those out there any more... What happened in the last election was during the primaries he had to seem like he was far right, after he did that he failed to move to the center very well. Oboma had the advantage of being after Bush, If Donald Duck won the Democratic primaries he probably would have been president, and he made the shift from Far Left to Center very gracefully.
We have a hole society who thinks that Moderates are week minded. They are no
It's an ideological war. The problem is we're stuck with two parties by virtue of "winner takes all" democracy, and no real way to fix it without going with a parliamentary system (with its own serious flaws). So both Republican and Democratic parties are formed of uncomfortable coalitions.

Moderate Republicans aren't hard to find, however most of them call themselves 'Democrats'.
