The Chistian Science Monitor thinks the elections were about two main themes: Iraq and corruption.   What does that mean in terms of Congressional action on ethics isn't quite clear yet:

What's missing from Democrats' ambitious early agenda, critics say, is a quick, clean, anticorruption element. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi promised last January to enact an ethics package - including a ban on all gifts from lobbyists, disclosure of earmarks, and a two-year wait before lawmakers leaving office can work as lobbyists - if Democrats took back the House. Pelosi aides say the presumptive House speaker wants an "Honest Leadership Open Government" package - details to be disclosed - to go through the committee process in the new Congress.

The ethics issue played out in the race for Majority Leader today.  Murtha's ethic woes became a major impediment for him and Pelosi.  Hopefully, that will accelerate the movement towards ethics reform.  

Of course, CREW will be watching.  But, given the concern about ethics expressed by voters, we won't be the only ones.
