(CNN) -- Ahead of Friday's first bipartisan fiscal cliff meeting at the White House, a group of moderate House Democrats is sending a message to both parties saying everyone needs to give some ground to find a bipartisan agreement. Members of the New Democrat Coalition, a group of centrists that hopes to play a role in the deal-making, sent a letter to President Barack Obama, House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday stating, "We cannot have a full debate that allows us to address the multitude of issues facing our country if either side takes a potential solution off the table." With both parties suffering losses of moderate members in the election, this new coalition is signaling it could be a critical bloc of votes in the House to get a deal through.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
