What is a moderate in politics?

Another Quora question I answered.

It used to be someone who could entertain vital aspects of both sides of the political spectrum without jumping into the torrent below. In the reality of power politics today though it is someone who realizes that they need more than the conventional party base to be consistently elected on the national level. Jumping into the torrent may at times be necessary. Just bring your flippers and have a lifeguard nearby.
