I am so intrigued by what African American voters did in Mississippi last week. They showed the power of their number to turn the tide. My question is for those on Dailykos who are far more informed that I am. I think every seat in up in the house for the mid-term elections. Has anyone who organizes the Democratic GOTV effort considered what would happen if they really used he message of what happened with Thad Cochran in every state? Could this turn the house Democratic? Certainly we could hold on to the Senate? Will we make it clear how powerful their votes are and how dire it will be if they don't vote?
Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 8:57 AM PT: Thanks for all the informed comments. Frankly, I don't care what or who gets elected these days as long as there's a 'D' next to their name on the ballot. Too much is at stake, way too much. After the last massacre in Santa Barbara, some kind of sane gun legislation needs to be passed. Climate change legislation needs to be passed. Women's right to choose is being decimated all over the country. The unemployed continue to go without. So much legislation has been needlessly stalled. I hate what Boehner and his gang have done to decimate Obama's agenda. Furthermore, now the Teaparty wing will likely impeach. The threat of this May be the only way we do get out the vote at the mid-terms. We are in for 2 very ugly years if they take both houses. The kind of ugly that makes my stomach turn. Reason enough to get mad, to do whatever needs to be said or done all over this country to get out the vote. What is the best way to reach people to warn them about what's at stake? Do we just sit back and allow the Kock Roach Brohs to buy the America they want? 2014 is looking good for them right now.
