What exactly is a Moderate Hero? I keep hearing the term but I never saw a good definition of it.

It has many definitions, but the most common one, I think, is an individual who believes in centrist policies because they are centrist, not because they make sense. 

I've been called it a lot Smiley  I'm sure I've been guilty of it at times (like thinking Lieberman should keep his chairmanship, I was wrong on that one), but I'm also critical of it in others fwiw

     That more or less encapsulates the definition I've understood. Another important component though is that the person holds these centrist positions because he feels that he will consequently be seen as reasonable & be popular.
