Sadly, I think this is how most people voted:
"Libby Kolar, a Pleasanton accountant and self-described centrist Republican, voted for Pombo's Democratic challenger, McNerney, to protest Bush's handling of the war."
They voted against the Republicans just because of Bush, not because the Democrat would be the better person for the job.
