Half of the blue dogs lost their seats

It wasn't necessarily the more moderate Blue Dogs either. Taylor and Childers were the most conservative Democrats in the house, and they were replaced by Boner marionettes who likely would've voted for TARP just like they were told.

odd.....not only did I never hear anyone speculate that the Republicans could win in Frank's district, but I find it astounding than anyone would take pleasure in the fact he still has the power to vote....more proof liberals have incredibly low standards......take another example, Michigan 14th District, Conyers takes 76% of the vote while his wife sits in jail for taking bribes.....apparently he had no idea where the extra household income was coming from........or New York's 15th where Rangel takes 79% while awaiting hearings on his ethics violations......certainly there are many surprises greater than Frank's win.......

not by the measure of hate expressed against him on this board, you would have thought he was a huge target on the Tea Time Express Grizzly wagon!
 
I think it is just snap-back. The swing was to get rid of those people who supported GWB's drive into fiscal irresponsibility, the only way to do that was to vote for the most conservative candidate running against them. This was simply the correction.

A lot of Republicans would have liked to have seen Nancy Pelosi lose but doesn't mean it's going to happen. You have to look at their districts to know if there is a real chance or not. Barney Frank losing in Mass? Highly highly unlikely.

They thought that about Ted Stevens, too, and with enough money, or a bold idea, it happens!

so basically, you admit you made an unsupportable comment and have tried to buttress it with irrational misrepresentation?.......way to go, dude!

Nancy Pelosi is more likely to lose to a Green than a Republican.

If they were really gerrymandering, they'd probably want to split districts like Pelosi's up and let it absorb some Republican votes. You could easily create a lot more Democratic majority districts doing this.

Gene Taylor and Travis Childer's definitely weren't "snap-back".

There's no need for a far right caucus in the Republican party because all of your reps would fit in it.

and now you are admitting that "progressives" would be the far left wing of the democrats?....obviously losing the election has wrought great change.....
 
is that "nope" it's not a change or "nope" progressives aren't the far left......if the latter, why did you bring up a "far right caucus" of conservatives?........
