That depends on how the middle/independent one-third of the voters feel. If they feel that they were screwed by the Bush administration, then many Republican and Democrat "leaders" will be compelled to follow them.

But the calculations are not that simple. If you abandon your base to go to the middle (especially in the case of the Republicans) then you have little hope of getting re-elected anyway.

Hopefully, this will lead to the emergence of a third force that is fiscally conservative and socially liberal.
