Democrats facing worst mid-term in 20 years?

[spin]

5. The problem Democrats face is how to get out the vote for the midterm election. ...

The party that holds the White House often losses congressional seats in the midterm.

The Republican base does seem to be fired up and many will likely vote. In the last week I talked to a couple of people I know who voted for Obama, one who is in his early twenties and one in her mid 60s. Both were enthusiastic about Obama's performance and indicated that they would probably not go to the polls later this year. Of course that's just two people but I fear their opinion is not unusual.

I am just listening to Elizabeth Warren on Face the Nation. She is damn impressive and i feel would be a much stronger candidate than Hillary in 2016 if she could be convinced to run. Unfortunately she keeps saying that she is not interested in running as a presidential candidate. She has a powerful message that will appeal to many voters as she opposes the big money that buys and owns Congress.

Time will tell.
