I think conservatives in general got a big wake up call yesterday.

I think the core problem is arrogant supremecy, and ignorance among them.
The repubs could have won in Iraq if we hadn't gone in with such arrogance that "they would welcome us as liberators". "Win their hearts and minds"...that one used to make me crindge, like muslims were these stupid morons that would eat out of our hands.
And the supremecy that "we" can do it better then them...Sorry but when it came to controling Iraq Sadam did it better.
Rumsfeld refusing to listen to Collen Powel was the ultimate supremecy trip. Look where it got him. Powel ran the show in the first Iraq war and Bushco decided they didn't need his military insite. Bolo move of the century!
It was just pure arrogance.
And last but not least:
"I'm the leader of the most powerful nation in the world"
"We are the leader of the FREE world"
"Iran, Iraq and North Korea form an axis of evil"
Did you ever play "King of the hill" as a kid?
Bush played it as a president and wonders why forces showed up to knock him off.
But of all the dumb-assed-puppet-monkeys in the world, Tony Blair eclipsed them all.
