Well, that's because people on the left call themselves moderates because they don't want to call themselves liberal. It's a moot point in any case; Romney doesn't have to outright win moderates, just win more of them than, say, Bush did against Gore.
Romney is a great example of the Wall Street elite (to be better, he'd need to have worked for a firm actually based on Wall Street/Lower Manhattan). But the thing is......so is Obama. They're both multimillionaire Harvard Law grads who received loads of campaign contributions from big banks and favor policies that help big banks a lot. Where's the difference?
You can say that Romney will have an image problem with this more, but remember that Republicans have done a very good job of painting Democrats as "liberal elites" over the years. This one will hurt Romney, but it doesn't kill his chances. He just has to make the campaign about Obama, not himself. And Obama will be trying to make the debate about the Republican candidate, too. Unless Ron Paul wins, of course, because Ron Paul is the only candidate people actually like, as opposed to considering the lesser evil.
