(3,003 posts)I live in Georgia, and I have to tell you that the state is not quite trending blue yet. I am hopeful that Michelle Nunn's candidacy will at least force the Republicans to spend resources here which could weaken them in other Senate races such as in North Carolina, Arkansas, Alaska, and Colorado.
It is imperative that our party base understand that national elections are held every TWO years, and that staying home during midterms is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Because of the weak turnout in 2010 (a redistricting year!), the congressional seats are so ridiculously gerrymandered that the Republicans will most likely control the House until the 2022 elections.
Nov. 2, 2010 is a date which will live in infamy. Saddest part is, we did it to ourselves.
