the DLC's entire strategy is to NOT ALIENATE ANYONE.
It's hard to excite people when you speak in vague platitudes and favor watered down positions of the other guy.
The Republicans win because they are a STRONG party. They excite their base with strong positions and sell those positions to independents. Imagine if they named pro-choice Arlen Specter as senate leader? Would that HELP them win elections or HURT them?
The reason these anti-choice fundies loyally turn out for Repugs every election is because they know the party stands for what they believe in and will fight for it.
The reason enough independents go Republican so that they win, even barely, is because the Repubs appear as if they have honest and open stands, while the democrat oftan appears unconfident and vague.
