The exit polls show only 37% voted Dem because of Iraq and as a matter of fact most of the Dems who won are not for pulling out of Iraq.
The exit polls showed almost 45% voted against the GOP because they didn't handle their scandals very well.
Most of the Dems who got elected and took out a GOPer ran as the more conservative and who knows what they'll do after they get to Washington ?

Dude, you still don't get it. I lot of people who are against the war keep their mouths shut so they will not be called unpatriotic. America is fed up with bullshit. Dems gettings asked about the war in interviews are not going to shoot their mouths off and then go back to work where the company has posted a banner in the lunch area saying "support our troops".
It was easy to speak out for the war, those opposed faced becoming a pariah, traitor, terrorist sympothizer...etc
The fall-out from Iraq is still yet to come. It's only going to get worse as newly unclassifide information gets out and republicans start turning on Bush so they can get eleted in 2008.
Think of it this way. Admitting you were against the war was like admitting you masterbate. Now go take that poll and see how many people give a "safe" answer.
