Congress has so few moderate Republicans that at least in the Senate they could squeeze into a Volkswagen Beetle.
Their ranks have dwindled in recent elections. Those who remain in politics have been marginalized by their own party, which has inexorably veered to the right over the last generation.
But this beleaguered minority has an opportunity to wield outsized influence on what President-elect Barack Obama can accomplish in Congress.

What are really dwindling in numbers are leftist rag newspapers like this one, the LA Times. They spew leftist garbage and nobody wants to read their propaganda anymore.
In demand? Translation: They are gonna get tons of perks and pork in exchange for being what they really are, traitors. Has anyone checked the RINO listings in Ebay? “I sold my vote on Ebay”- RINO lapel pin.
Ah, yes. In media-talk, if a liberal is a Republican, they are called “moderate”.
What's that mean" Is it that while, selling a Senate seat is illegal, it is fine to sell out your own Party for "favors"?
He may have well said. "There's only a couple hookers available at this bash and there's 59 horn-dogs; them hookers might be in big demand".
Yep the MSM has decided it better prop up the Snow-Chaffee type RINOs now that the election is over or it knows it will see more REPUB who are not simply RAT-lite.
Collaborators were in “high demand” in pre-war France too. They weren’t so popular afterward though, as I recall.
Let's see, you have Snowe and Collins from Maine, Specter from PA. And there are more.
A more accurate story would be about the Democrat party has veered to the hard left and there are few moderates in power. Instead the media keep saying that Obama, the most leftward senator, is a moderate.

Those (moderates) who remain in politics have been marginalized by their own party, which has inexorably veered to the right over the last generation.
Janet, you used "Inexorably" incorrectly. It's completely out of place in your sentence.
"unyielding, not to be persuaded, moved, inflexibly"It could have been used but you'd have to have written the sentence differently.
Now I like big words too, but c'mon lady, wanna buy an adverb?
Senator Specter will remain “in demand” for only the remainder of his term, after which he is likely to be replaced by the tingly legs of Chrissy Mathews....

Yup. Like McCain, Graham, and Martinez. Then you have people like Orrin Hatch, who are often considered conservative, but regularly go RINO on us.
