I don't really care.

The religious republicans lost it, the fiscal ones won.

Lesson to be learned.

[NinoFan]

Uh, no, that's incorrect. Try again.

bloviate much?

The religious republicans lost it, the fiscal ones won.

Some counterexamples:

Tell that to Chaffee and Foley.

Then talk to Kyl and Talent.

Ergo, it was an anti-Republican mood for two reasons:

1) Rahm Emmanuel ran a bunch of *conservative* democrats, including that evangelical Christian pro-life guy in NC.

2) The Dems nationalized the election into a referendum upon the war in Iraq.

Truth is, Bush 43 followed in his father's footsteps and failed to campaign or to support his party in any meaningful way.

He believed his own echo chamber and Rove, who relied on robo-phoning instead of grass roots.

Full of it as usual.

The religious republicans lost it, the fiscal ones won.

Surely you jest. Chaffee, Burns, DeWine, etc., etc., are "religious Republicans"?

Republicans of every stripe lost tonight.
