I think Independents and democratic leaning Independents are going to come up big for democrats in 2014 and moving forward. I think that group clearly see the difference between democrats and republicans and understand that difference is huge in democrats favor. Even republican leaning Independents only give the republican party 40% of their faith. Center Independents and left leaning Independents are likely close to 100% in the democrats camp coming into 100%, our job as democrats is to field candidates that get them excited about voting, I don't think that candidates will be far Left candidates, but if some are, they should be robustly supported by anyone wanting good, effective government, job growth and economic fairness.
