Republicans took the House in 94 based on their ideas. (and a fair amount of disgust at Democrat corruption) Gingrich wasn't exactly Mr. Charm and Personality, the slate of candidates they had that year is what put them over the top, people of principle who were committed to ideas. Term limits was a big issue that year, those who kept their word resigned when they said they would. Those who reneged stayed, and everything went to hell.
