You're right about the check-kiting scandal - remember how Dan Rostenkowski lost his seat because of it?

Maybe that had some effect here and there in the north, but it had nothing to do with the south moving to the GOP. That was all due to a rejection of Clinton.

I don't think it was the only thing, but it certainly was a factor. To act like it didn't matter in the 1994 election is incorrect - that year was a perfect storm of various issues, from Clinton to corruption.
