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.

No impeachment ONLY because Bushies dishonestly used the Iraq War to steal the November elections, branding war hero Max Cleland as a traitor for one thing. If the Dems still held the Senate (and subpoena/special prosecutor powers) Bush would now be in reach danger of not finishing out his term. Evreyone knows now that the whole war argument was based on deliberate propaganda, not truth. And that our troops are now dying because of it. This is far power serious that anything Whitewater was even imagined to be. A thousand times more grave. And a threat to American credibility, prosperity and power in the world. Time you guys like you to dump GW. You were wrong. Face it.
