Most of the Dems who won are not liberal, in the old Dem sense. They are more like the DLC Dems.., centrist and pragmatic, and not so rigidly ideological.
Many of the Repubs who lost were the moderate Repubs, particularly in NY, PA, NH, CT, OH....leaving the Repubs more conservative as a party.
For me, that portents a good future for the Dems, with more and more Indepedents, who ultimately control the balance of power between the two parties, leaning to the Dems.
