The Dems won because they won the independents, because the GOP Congress proved itself corrupt and undisciplined, and because the media successfully convinced them that the economy sucked and Iraq was a disaster. It was NOT because conservatives stayed home.Even if correct for the most part, there were some conservatives who stayed home. That might have made the difference in a few races, like the Senate race in MT. If the Repub had won the Dems wouldn't control the Senate now.
Perhaps. However, we aren't gonna win in '08 by attacking those who didn't feel we were worthy of their vote in '06.
