Off year and special elections the pukes usually win because many of us stay home.

Not to worry, in the presidential election we will all vote and win big. The pukes won congress in 2010 because we stayed home, but we will fix that come November..
This Walker win means very little, only that the pukes used a lot of money and it was still very close. Walker will probably end up resigning after this investigation he is involved in.
Hope is very much alive.

Thanks very much for posting the thread, we need to remember the long term goal.
We need another 4 years of a Democratic POTUS to give some peace, no matter how uncertain it seems.

We need the "free media" of a Presidential election to help get out the Democratic election. We are unable to financially compete in other years IMHO.

There may have been setbacks.....and we may face other setbacks in the future. But keeping our chins up...and our eyes and ears open, will certainly be helpful, at least in the long run. Kudos, fellow DUer.
