But in red states who chose moderate Democrats because of their gun and abortion positions, it sure can be a deal-breaker.
How big of a deal breaker? Pretty nasty, actually... Here's why:
In '14, 35 senate seats will be up for grabs (the normal 33 plus one from the other two classes). Of those, 21 are Democrats -- and seven are from states that went for Mittens in 2012 (Oh, and three of those are retiring). Only 14 Republicans will be up, with one being from a '12 Blue state.
BTW, six (6) is the number of new seats needed to hand the Senate to the GOP. Six of the 21 Democrats need to lose (or three Democrats need to lose and the three races with no incumbent in Red states need to to to Republicans). Those seven states will make the difference between NOTHING being done in the last two years before '16 and potentially veto-overriding right-wing shit getting through.
Oh, and pissed off people (i.e.: conservatives with a bug up their asses over "a black Muslim tryin' to take mah guns and Bibles!"
go to the polls more than anyone else. The GOP doesn't need to wipe the floor with us, they just have to show up in a few select races to fuck everything up.
And THAT is why even an "exceedingly small" number of voters pissed about gun control and ruin a country.
Isn't math fun?
