The recent elections touted by many as semi final to the general elections 09 have thrown out a unanimous result. Not in the sense of a party but in the sense of poll issues. Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh where the BJP chief ministers concentrated on development and issues related to public welfare instead of any terror or hindutva agenda were able to beat the anti incumbency factor and retain their power. Rajasthan was a complete mess by Vasundhara Raje and Delhi by BJP's high command. These states were going BJP's way all along but the party just ran out of leaders and sent some important ones fuming away. The rebels in BJP's fort caused too much of a damage for Raje too handle. And on the other hand Sheila Dixit's development was just good enough to defeat BJP's outdated leaders. Infact i think the Metro's success just overshadowed the mess created by the Bus corridor.
In all the public favored stability. Inspite of claims mayawati may make about improved vote share people voted for a stable goverment not allowing some small parties to bully the government by virtue of 1 or 2 seats. Rajasthan ofcourse being an exception but in my defence it was already messed up.

anti anti incumbancy seems to be the keyword.
