Some northeastern liberal RINO's were defeated by some moderate Democrats. I'm fine with that. In my own district, Ron Paul - an anti Iraq war Republican - beat a pro-war Democrat! go figure.

I feel that a strong Democratic party not beholden to the Moveon.org, anyone-but-Bush freaks is good for the country. Congress can forge out some actual strong bipartisan legislation.

The GOP was too defensive and the Democrats were too offensive.
