well, who stayed home? look at some of these "heartland" congressional seats the Rs are losing in places like IN and KY. whose not voting in those districts? the RINOs?

Exactly right.

ATTENTION: All Conservative bashers. Conservatives showed up. It's the precious unreliable moderates that seem to have sat this one out. So if you want to blast anyone, thank the ungrateful pack of Republican Moderates the GOP catered to the past two years. Don't believe me? Check out what races are going down. It ain't the conservative strongholds by and large, it's the wimpish Lib Mod districts.

BINGO. Beautiful post!

Also, LOOK at the DEMOCRATS riding "the Wave". Almost every single one ran as a CONSERVATIVE.

Bears repeating.

Even with Santorum, I'll bet the actual number of conservatives who stayed home was miniscule. Moderates (especially moderate independents) are the ones who thought he was "too moralistic" and couldn't stomach a principled pro-life, pro-family, and pro-marriage position.
