How many LIBERALS won on Tuesday?(other than Ted Kennedy and KKK Byrd?)
The democrats who made the gains ran as conservatives.
One cannot simply depend on "conservative" democrats- there IS no such animal. It's the old threat "say anything you have to to get elected, but remember your place when you get here. I don't care how "conservative" some democrat may sound. Sooner or later, he/she MUST pay homage to the democratic platform. And he sure as h*ll better vote the way he is told by Pelosi and Kennedy if he wants more than one term.
