Congressional and statewide races, certainly in some cases. Some of it seems to be a pushback against progressivism in the US and Europe. Not against liberalism, but it seems to many, me included, that progressives have gone full circle to sounding like 19th-century conservatives in Europe. Some of that is being discussed in GD and Postmortem.

I do know this much. A lifelong Wyomingite in my city, the only politician I actually worked for, lost to Liz carpetbagging poaching big money from California fucking Cheney. Would he have won if he didn't "party of gun control" millstone around his neck? I don't know.
