Because the party is playing to the right, not the moderates. The Bob Jones and Phyllis Schlafly camps of the party are not ready to support a minority woman on the ticket. If the Democrats put forward a centrist candidate, than the Republicans will not be able to risk alienating the right wing unless they want to bank on a no-other-choice position.
