Lesson from Tonight... [View all]

We may have pulled it out tonight in Virginia, but the closeness of this race is a powerful reminder of how important voter turnout is. Clearly, there is NO DOUBT that numerous Obama voters in Virginia didn't bother to go out and vote this year. This problem has plagued the Democrats for decades and we will lose the Senate next year if we don't focus on get-out-the-vote efforts.

Yes, we are starting to gain the upper-hand, but there are too many conservatives in this country to take anything for granted. It is imperative that Democratic voters get out and vote in every election, every time. We are in a war for the heart and soul of America and we are nowhere close to winning it.
