"Voters steer middle course, pick results over ideology" (DUH!)

The only hint of a partisan breeze blew here in California, where voters leaned heavily to Democrats in state races and especially fiercely against the Republican right wing. Democrats won all but two statewide races and picked up seats in both the Assembly and state Senate. In the process, voters turned out some of the state's most prominent conservative leaders, including Lungren, former Assembly Speaker Curt Pringle and Orange County Sen. Rob Hurtt, a kingpin of the Christian right.

An election often turns on personalities and local issues in individual races, but three overarching factors seem to have shaped the Democratic triumph.

First, Democrats had the better part of the argument on the issues that mattered most to voters. In races all over the state, Democrats talked about improving public schools, ending HMO abuses and protecting freedom of choice on abortion. In most competitive races, that position trumped GOP calls for school vouchers, lower taxes and abortion restrictions.
