With Today's Various Depressing News Stories... What Do You Think Turn-Out Will Be In 2014 ???

I have no idea, yet I live in California.

We ain't perfect... (Feinstein, Harmon...)...

And... I vote EVERY Election.

My question is, in the final analysis... how do we get the rest of the country to treat 2014, as a Presidential Election?

I think it's our only hope.

Who owns the computerized voting machines, and so who is it that really counts the votes?

I expect no answer, most people just ignore that elephant.

Just thought I would cheer you up a bit. Not intended to change the subject.

We have a governor to elect in Wisconsin--that should up the turnout a lot.

There aren't enough writers, editors, producers, to send the message that THIS Mid-Term is critical to the survival of the union ???

for American labor to finally wake up. There is a reason we are increasingly isolated from events around the world. Call me cynical, but they are trying to prevent the backlash.

It will come, and people are FINALLY talking of that little reality, if I do not make enough, I won't buy your baubles.
