Biggest threat to Democrats this fall is voter apathy..
Advertisements [?]
And I don’t mean the disgruntled left, I mean the millions of regular Democrats across this county who will likely be no shows this fall, not because they are angry or pissed at Obama or the Democrats, but because they are simply not motivated, for whatever reason, to get off their asses.

It seems that many feel after the elections in 2008 their work is now done.. we got our guy in the WH, we have majorities in both chambers of Congress, why worry about politics anymore? Of course there is always less participation in mid-terms but based on recent elections in VA, DE and MA, the Democrats were almost non-existent. Something needs to done to get these folks to the polls in November. If they show, we win, if they don’t, it could be ugly. Just my opinon... fwiw.
