Disgruntled conservatives may have been responsible for a few Repub losses, but IMO, it was the Indepdendent voters who made the difference in most races, as they haved in every recent election. Some exit polls had the Independents voting 2-1 for Dems.
If, as a result of the election, the Repubs go back to the base that they "abandoned", as their conservative constituents want (ie Limbaugh, Pat Buchanan, Richard Vigurie, James Dobson, etc), the Dems will surely benefit in 2008 with these Indepdendent voters.
