That may have been what happened in the 2008 election - though the results in New Jersey (where Obama campaigned heavily for Corzine recently) shows that it is now a resurgent conservative (not "republican") agenda that has resonated with voters.
CNN projects that NJ has elected a fiscally conservative, smaller government candidate. Given the fact that NJ has always been a liberal stronghold, this is a sign that the hard left agenda isn't resonating with even the "average" democrat.
I really am looking to see the results of the 23rd congressional race.
Edit WASHINGTON (CNN) – With only 21 percent of precincts reporting, Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman leads Democrat Bill Owens. The Republican candidate, Dede Scozzafava, withdrew from the race a few days ago.
