I am not surprised by the outcome of Tuesday's election. I've been warning this site for at least two years that there are a large amount of voting Democrats that are not feeling elected/campaigning Democrats. Particularly amongst Blacks citizens.

I am a 35 year old Black woman who is having a VERY hard time feeling enthusiastic about voting for Democrats this year. I feel, as Janet Jackson sang, "What have you done for me lately?"

UPDATE 5:17 ET: Thanks for all the constructive (and not so constructive) comments. I appreciate receiving some perspectives I have not previously considered. I do want to be clear, this was never was about staying home. This diary was about pulling the lever for Congressional Democrats in November.

I also want to thank Joan Mar for helping me realize this is my first experience with voting for the "lesser of two evils". Call me naïve, but I've always fully supported the candidates I've voted for in the past. My decision is still out, but I appreciate someone pointing out that they have been disillusioned with Democrats and wrote-in a candidate in the past. So again, thank you for all helpful feedback.

More below the fold.

Just breaking on MSNBC by Andrea Mitchell. General David Petraeus, head of the CIA, to resign from post due to "extra marital affair".
