Open Left

to expound upon your point:

I wouldn't be surprised if the DSCC and the DNC concentrate on recruiting more "moderate" Republicans into the Democratic fold for the 2010 elections by ensuring them the support in the primaries and giving them seniority.

This is no doubt the long-term strategy of the Democratic leadership, intended to swell their ranks in Congress and increase their power. Of course, it will pull the party further to the right and decrease its electoral chances. But they can't be expected to see further ahead than their own shoelaces.
