Might one not, looking at the election results, conclude that the only reason the dems did so well was by tempering their ideologues and shooting for the moderate vote, or the squishy middle?

2006 elections were a vote against the war and President Bush and any Republicans running.

The MSM spent the months leading up to the election screaming that everyone is mad at the illegal war and Republicans. People believed that and took the message to the polls.

There was no rhyme or reason to the way they voted beyond that. It didn't matter if it was conservative, moderate, or liberal, Republicans were voted out.

In the next 2 years they will have their fill of RAT control and be ready to vote them out.

Perhaps, but the 'Rats took no positions (other than being anti-Bush) so they could not be questioned on anything. That is partly how they won.
