I believe it says an awful lot about the view that the liberal policies that have been proposed in this country have been totally rejected. Those policies have failed. From the clunkers program, to the actual numbers being projected from liberal healthcare proposals, the quadrupling of the deficits in less than one year, to the fumbling on the war. These elections represent people(independants/dem moderates/lukewarm Republicans) who have seen liberal policies in action, and are making the statement that they want a different direction. Read the polls lately? They indicate most people think this country has gone completely off the track.
The good thing here is that the Democrats go one of two ways from here. They arrogantly continue to pursue radical policies that continue to harm their political reputations, and build further angst against them in future elections. Or they moderate themselves and forget the healthcare junk, and huge spending packages to try to save their skins next go. Either way, liberals lose.
Edited to add: Just got done reading all the comments here. Nice POV's. Haplo is correct. People of all stripes are looking at the issues, not just simple party affiliations. That is a good thing.
