but evidently we missed each other.

Scott Walker received 90% of the votes in Wisconsin that went to John McCain in 2008 while Barrett received only around 65% of the votes that went to Barack Obama. Russ Feingold lost the senate seat and the entire state flipped from Democratic control to Republican control. Frankly, too often the Left are fickle and undependable voters while it seems most on the right view voting as their duty. The Left seems to need to be motivated and excited, otherwise too many find it too easy to abdicate their responsibility to get out and vote for the best candidate and not the perfect one.
