You're both forgetting that there was already an anti-incumbent backlash in recent elections before this bill passed. It's already impacted the Democrats and made this a closer vote than it would have been had it been voted on last fall.
Texas Governor Rick Perry, a man I don't care for much but who I know to be a very skilled politician, just recently rebuffed a strong conservative challenger in Kay Bailey Hutchinson (who from all predictions should have won) simply by portraying her as a Washington insider. And I foresee that anti-incumbent backlash trending up in coming elections.
