You have a lot of faith in the electorate Salmo. Maybe it will get some Democrats a little more funding in an upcoming election, but even thats doubtful. I would be that in very few people will remember or care by the time the next election for their senator comes around. I think it is clear very clear most people have no idea who or what they are actually voting for. The R or D in front of their name is all that seems to really matter most of the time, and if significant numbers change from their normal pattern, it usually is something nationally going on that has nothing to do with the actual candidate.
