David Brooks says:

Well, [moderate]'s [have] been on steroids, because on Tuesday the muscular middle took control of America. Say goodbye to the era of Rovian base mobilization. Say goodbye to the era of conservative dominance that began in 1980. On Tuesday, 47 percent of the voters were self-described moderates, according to exit polls, and they asserted their power by voting for the Democrats in landslide proportions.

Brooks calls Dems moderates. I agree. I expect then that Brooks agrees with this agenda:

Pelosi also said Democrats will pursue an agenda that has been resisted by Bush, including cutting student loan interest rates, funding embryonic stem cell research, authorizing the federal government to negotiate lower drug prices for Medicare patients and imposing a national cap on industrial carbon dioxide emissions.

That clip leaves out three other big agenda items - raising the minimum wage, implementing the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission and changing course in Iraq.

This is a moderate's dream agenda. We'll see if Brooks is really a moderate now. I predict he is not.
