>>>>NEWT was overcome with grandeur in 94 thinking his Contract With America was the raeson for the GOP onslaught

Newt's Contract With America gave GOP candidates a clearly defined conservative campaign agenda to rally around and run on in 1994. The Democrats ran on their standard liberal agenda of tax increases, spending increases and social liberalism. American voters were impressed with the CWA and voted for Republicans giivng them a 54 seat pickup. The results speak for themselves. Newt may have taken a hard fall five years later, but the CWA was a resounding success story.

NOPE
Exit polls showed the vast majority of voters hadn't the faintest idea what the CWA was even about or that it even existed
It was a NON FACTOR

Hell even Bill Clinton admitted the GUN CONTROL issue cost the dems the house in 94 .Add in the Christian Conservatives and it became a rout
