Any politician who does not pay attention to what his voters are saying won't last long. Esp. in the House, where elections are frequent. It's called democracy.

As for how the RR is "taking it". Hahahahaha. They are madly spinning right now. Some of them anyway. Even going so far as saying that the problem with the Republicans is that they focused ONLY on impeachment. When it was very heavily the RR that was driving and demanding the impeachment hard line and focus among Republicans.

As all this shakes out, the RR will be losing power within the Repub. party. It's simply in the results. The Bush family is in the ascendent again. Jeb Bush, the former right winger, decided to sound like his kinder, gentler, inclusive brother (who has staked out his father's personal opposition to abortion but leave the Supreme Court decisions on the subject alone, position). Everywhere moderate Republicans who focused on good and effective government, and de-emphasized devisive culture wars issues, prevailed. The RR only won in safe areas. All over the place the strident hard right lost. Yippeeee. <ggg>
