I think the election results can be attributed to all of the aforementioned factors. Which can all be summed up by the umbrella factor of CHANGE. I mean, really, there were a variety of issues to choose from that motivated great enough blocs of voters to vote for "the other guys." Whether your concern is the war, the economy or the scary "morality brigade" and the dozens of other sub-issues associated with them. There was no shortage of reasons not to vote republican in this election.
