They've kind of switched positions now. I assume the Democrats were once more to the right and the Republicans more to the left.

Democratic party used to be the Bible thumping redneck party. Republican party used to be the intellectual party.

That changed with the "Southern Strategy," which was basically a cynical political ploy to make white people scared of blacks to gain votes. The Christian Coalition taking over the Republican party only cemented the change.
