That depends where you define the center with all due respect.And a radical centrist sounds like an oxymoron to me.
What's considered moderate in America is right wing.
Someone like An Coulter and all the radio wackos are so far right it's scary and disgusting.There's no one like that on the left but the regressive right succeeded in part to say or act like Michael Moore or Rosie O Donnell are the same on the left.That's bull.They call to hang Democratic traitors meaning congressmen and senators and that's their free speech but Move on should be kicked out of the country for a factual ad that makes one reference to betraying in the form of a question
There is hardly a real far left in America and there's no far left wing in the Democratic party.Kucinich and Gravel and some others are definitely left but the right has succeeded in marking them as far left while they are not.
Most of the Democratic party is moderate,a lot right of center but the right succeeds in making too many people think they are communists.
On so many issue's the right controls the language of the debate and therefore the debate itself.A lot of liberals use their language and fall into their logic.
It's gonna be very hard for the left to change that.Their low taxes scam works.It's a scam.Americans don't accept tax cos it's their money but they do accept working overtime for nope.That's theft but they don't see the relation.Do you?If you work fifteen hours and only get payed eight.In America that's legal and it was passed without strikes or any protest.But try to raise a tax a little and people scream and are outraged.The right controls America including a lot of people who think they are liberal.
The money "wasted" on welfare is peanuts compared to the military spending.Most welfare recipients aren't lazy bums.Still a majority of Americans think they are.The military spending is often very wasteful but no one cares or only a few who are immediately branded as far left.

At least the left is honest about the information they put out...
This house resolution against MoveOn is ridiculous because they simply said that General Petreaus is exaggerating the "success" in Iraq like he always does....
But lets take a moment to look at some Republican political campaigns that went without admonishment from the House:
In 2002, Democrat Max Cleland was defeated in his bid for a second Senate term by Representative Saxby Chambliss. Voters were perhaps influenced by Chambliss ads that featured Cleland's likeness on the same screen as Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, ads that Cleland's supporters claim questioned his commitment to homeland security. (The ads were removed after protest from some prominent politicians including John McCain.)

Swiftboat Veterans For Truth, an organization led by Lt. General John Conaway, a vice-chair in the Veterans for Bush Cheney, has the sole purpose of discrediting John Kerry's 3 purple hearts, silver heart and bronze heart from his heroism serving in Viet Nam:

In the article above, you will read about one of the many veterans from Viet Nam who say they had no intention of being associated with this highly political smear campaign against one of their fellow veterans.
In the fall of 1970, Karl Rove (Bush's former Deputy Chief of Staff) used a false identity to enter the campaign office of Democrat Alan J. Dixon, who was running for Illinois State Treasurer, and stole 1000 sheets of paper with campaign letterhead. Rove then printed fake campaign rally fliers promising "free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing", and distributed them at rock concerts and homeless shelters, with the effect of disrupting Dixon's rally (Dixon eventually won the election). Rove's role would not become publicly known until August 1973. Rove told the Dallas Morning News in 1999, "It was a youthful prank at the age of 19 and I regret it."

Can't be done, there's not enough of you. :)
Besides if I left the Republican party it would be to join the Libertarians.
