Default Journalistic Style..duhhhhhhh

Was reading an article on the AP line and ran across the following back to back sentences,

"Many of them complained how lonely a place the middle ground of American politics had become. But to some, the center has become even lonelier."

After reading them, is anyone else scratching their head or did I miss something?

Take care,
