...some liberals are afraid to admit their beliefs for fear that they live next door to folks who think they are wrong and evil.
I suppose it depends on where you live. I'm in the Bay Area, but although there's a lot of liberals around here, they aren't Berkeley leftists, and quite tolerant for the most part. That's not true everywhere. I drove my van, Bush stickers and all, through downtown Santa Cruz. Nobody actually threw anything, but my daughter was slouched way down in her seat, more out of embarrassment than fear. She tends toward the conservative as well, but heck, EVERYTHING I do embarrasses her. It's kind of fun, actually.
I think Bowser's idea that everyone tends to think they are standing at the most reasonable part of the political spectrum is a more likely reason for the large number of people who identify themselves as "moderate."
