Stevenson lost to Eisenhower because the pragmatic centrists abandoned hm. Twice! They are unreliable voters.

McGovern lost to Nixon because a bunch of centrists abandoned him. God knows the left still supported him. The centrists are unreliable voters.

Reagan beat Carter because centrist "Reagan Democrats" abandoned the Democratic party. They are the most unreliable voters.

Reagan beat Mondale because only the lefties stuck with Mondale. The wishy-washy reality-based centrists were unreliable.

Bush beat Dukakis and Bush the Lesser beat Gore because centrists were unreliable voters.

See, isn't this fun when you can take "facts" and make crap up so you shit on people, totally unsupported by reality? It's awesome, isn't it?

Oh, and again, if you want to deal in the reality you are so desperate to ignore, here you go: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/08/06/1003805/-Did-liberals-really-stay-home-and-cause-the-2010-rout
