So happy someone else noticed this mess McClatchy’s DC bureau tossed out the other day. Kay Hagan is a moderate, you see. Why? Because McClatchy’s DC bureau says so.

Not a fact supplied to support this notion, however. And as Carolina Politics Online puts it, if voting for tobacco makes Hagan a moderate, then voting to please automakers likewise must make John Dingell a moderate. Pretty clear the term “moderate” would then be meaningless, if it is not already.
