Wrong, many of the dems who won ran as conservatives. What teh American people turned against was the corruption, the spending and they are tired of the war. Basically they turned their backs on the Rockefeller/Country Club republicans.
I totally agree with that - they did turn against that. But they also were sick and tired of the extremist attitude of the social conservatives. The my way or the highway - no compromise and everyone else is a RINO crowd. That turns off many voters. The Democrats were smarter - saw the dissatisfaction and used it against us.
