however, the final vote will come down to Democratic turnout. If lots of people get out to vote for President Obama, that will help the downticket races significantly. If voter turnout is low on our end, yeah, we're probably going to lose the Senate (or at least lose a lot of our seats). I will say that, overall, things are starting to look better for us than they did a year ago between the expected GOP overreach, the rise of the Occupy movement, and the healing economy. IMHO we need to capitalize on voter discontent with GOP rule in the states, misrule in Washington in the House, obstructionism in the Senate, and get our people to the polls and make sure that every eligible voter of ours can actually cast a ballot! If we can do that, we stand a chance of holding or even improving our Senate share of seats, as well as maybe even taking the House back. I think that I saw a poll out there that 46-40 people want the Dems back in control of Congress, which is a good sign that people have really soured on the Republicans.
Feeling better now?
