Remember Nate Silver and others use polls to predict election outcomes (and with great accuracy). History shows that the party in power tends to get their asses whipped during the President's second term. Do I want democrats to worry about the midterms? HELL YES! We do not have this in the bag. A little fear might be effective in getting our collective asses to the polls.
