it was the 28 Democratic retirements in southern districts, Republican gerrymandering, the first major mobilization of the Christian right, Newt Gingrich's exploitation of some very corrupt Dem congressman (Rubbergate) and an anti-incumbency wave that had been building since the late 80s that cause the 94 midterm results.
