You know that intensity gap we've been worried will bite us in the ass come election day? The one that convinced everybody and their brother that John Boehner should start measuring the drapes in the Speaker's office?

It also suggests that if there's one thing that Republicans could change about this campaign cycle, it would be to eliminate September and October. They'd have loved nothing more than jumping straight from August to election day.

Don't these unenthusiastic voters realize what is at stake by NOT voting? Not voting means the crazies that DO vote will have their favorite nut cases in power.

Not voting for a Democrat is the same as voting for a Republican. People need to realize that by November, or Congress may end up being controlled by the Teapublicans.

democrats are much more laid back than republicans no need to be excited and angry all the bloody time, just for a few hours on Nov 2nd will suffice.
