14. I'm not aware of anyone who refers to themselves as a "centrist".
But I see people called that on a daily basis here. Usually it happens when someone says something like:

"Al Gore isn't going to run."
"I'll vote for the Dem nominee, even if it's not Kucinich."
"Impeachment is not a constitutional requirement."
"Nader-voters are not the sharpest knives in the drawer."
"No, those aren't chemtrails."

See? Any of those statements will get someone labeled a "centrist" by the -ahem- more strident members of DU, but that doesn't necessarily make it true.
