Cherry picking? The list of pro-war Republicans who lost from 2006 is extremely long. It was the rule rather than the exception. The list of antiwar Republicans or Democrats who lost is is extremely short. Heck, Rush admitted the day after the election that the Democrats who won had effectively conservative themes on domestic policy and antiwar views. Paul, of course, won in a landslide, despite determined pro-war opposition in the primary.
Gee, maybe because just about all Republicans in the election were pro war. Duh.
Meanwhile, the leading issue among voters in exit polls was GOP corruption.
