Did it ever occur to you that people often don't vote based on "the war"?

Were you asleep in November?

No,  but I know that among other issues besides Iraq were the Republicans's abondoning their limited government philosophy.

This is a thread concerning "Presidential candidates" not "legislative candidates".  Results in 2006 therefore are quite irrelevant to jfern's specific point and my pointed response.

Anyways, if the 2006 election results had been solely due to "the war" - ie, if everybody had voted their position on the war in 2006 - the Reps would have done a hell of a lot worse.

Yeah, in fact, not one of the 6 Senate seats the GOP lost to Dems had anything to do with Iraq:
PA-Santorum was way too right-wing
OH-Their economy was in the hole
RI-GOP unpopularity was the straw that broke the camel's back
MO-Stem Cells
MT-Abramoff scandal
VA-Macaca
