Feelin' good about the General election
I was watching the returns come in last night and one thing always jumped out to me. Nearly every state they reported the numbers on had WAY more people turn out on the Dem side than the GOP side. There were a few states that it was close in and those were traditional red states. The overall popular vote was something like 11 million votes for Dem and 7 million votes for blue.

Let's even assume that Hillary is as divisive and unelectable as some people say. Let's even assume that John McCain has a tremendous pull for independents. Is it likely that we lose 2 million voters due to those factors? I'd have to doubt it.
