Just because you aren't quite as crazy as some other Republicans does not make you a moderate. As for the actual moderate Republicans, they stopped being Republicans a while ago. See Weicker, Chafee, Jeffords, Bloomberg, and the like. The liberal Republicans left a while before then. Javitts, LaGuardia, Follette, and so on.

I don't think moderate was the word I was looking for. Simply, Jeb Bush realizes the need to actually govern often times means softening on partisan stances if it leads towards compromise. 

True, a pragmatist isn't necessarily a moderate. See Stalin or Hitler.
