I think the conventional wisdom is that voters just want to shake up the bucket and see what happens, without much regard for party or policy. It's sort of a given that in a bad economy, the party in power (Democrats this time around) takes the brunt of voter anger at the next election.

It'll be interesting to see how that translates into voter turnout. We seem to be at a place in voter sentiment where anyone that steps up to the mic with what sounds like something different than we're doing today will get plenty of nods of approval.
