(135,425 posts)I think we won the election because we worked harder and smarter, we didn't let anyone run roughshod over our voters, we got in people's faces if they tried... and we had better ideas. GOTV was what did it, too.
I haven't missed an election in decades (to include local and off-year contests), so I'm not one of those lazy voters... and I got five calls on my answerphone urging me to go vote (I wasn't home--I was driving 88 people to the polls).
Our GOTV was strong on behalf of Liz Warren, but I imagine the push was the same in other states, and even stronger in battlegrounds.
When I hear hoofbeats, I think horses. I don't think "Anonymous" outsmarted "Evil Genius Karl Rove." I think that's a child's fantasy. Hard work carried the day--and we'd best not forget that in the next off-year contest.
