(3,003 posts)The fact that Cooch was able to make this so close despite being outspent and out-campaigned will embolden the tea party wing of the GOP. While that tactically may not be "bad" for us (heh-heh) the fact remains that Democrats still have a problem getting their voters out to the polls in off-year elections. THIS CANNOT CONTINUE. Democrats need to get out and vote in every single election...not just presidential election years. Failure to do so will result in tea-partiers gaining power all across the map.
