low Democratic turnout during the midterm elections. We can do something about the second between now and election day.

We practically have to run the table to keep the Senate.
Taking back the House will require a bigger landslide than any in living memory.

The Rapeuglicans are saying the things they are saying because they think they can't lose.
Could be the only way they CAN lose.

House will be close, +/- a few seats.

none of the gerrymandered districts has had a better than 50% turn-out of registered voters (since 2010) and more importantly, none of these districts has had a 30% turn-out of eligible voters. {I don't recall where I saw these figures, but they have stuck with me}

So a strong GOTV in these districts are likely to negate the gerrymandering effect.

Everybody HATES the GOP, except, according to Korporate media, they are poised to win all over.

What the frik's up with that?

narrative established so it won't seem so implausible when the hackable voting machines arrange for Repubs to take both houses of congress. The only thing that can prevent them is a landslide so overwhelming that they can't steal enough votes to change the outcome, which is what happened in 2012. I am convinced that Obama won more votes than the official tally shows, and that Demss won some of the close races that were called for Repubs.

GOTV!

Congress is less popular than dog vomit, monkey pus and painful rectal itch.

Great, now lets get all these disapproving people out to the voting booths....

Maybe those groups should only get 3/5 of an old white male vote.

He's awesome.

We're working on a major upset in this heavily republican district.

Women, nonwhites, and young have much lower voting rates than others.

in 2008 or in 2012 (with respect to non-whites). {I'm not certain about 2010.}

IOW: The assholes are the ones who get promoted.

There are uneducated rednecks in trailer parks all over the South that are CONVINCED that listening to Limbaugh is gonna pay off,....someday. Hasn't yet,....but it will. All they gotz to do is say that shit to the right person who will be so impressed they will make them a manager.

uncommonly low amongst chickens.

people like me. And I wouldn't vote for a fucking republican if you held a gun to my head...

Voting Republican is holding a gun to your own head. If they did the things their platform advocates, our country would be in ruins in six months.

Why ANYBODY votes for Republican clowns is beyond me - unless they are uber-wealthy.

The GOP is afraid of turnout more than anything else, by far.

Vote or STFU.

...Or else it means you're rich, and you hate 99% of the rest of the population.

enough to vote.

Motivate them by all means necessary, it would not even be close.

The corporate/GOP media is not going to like these numbers, they are astonishingly bad for their favorites.

While the GOP brand is shit with the American people, the "shockers" have never been more popular, or raked in so much money in the age of Obama. They're not interested in "reaching across the aisle", or getting anything done because it doesn't serve their main goal$. Of course, it doesn't help Democrats that our base constituencies, historically, don't turn up in midterms. They save their ammo for the big game. It's a ridiculous ethos, but it is what is.

...this November. Until then it all of the stories about which groups Republicans are doing badly with, how changing demographics are a big threat to Republicans, etc., come across as merely academic and nothing to cheer about yet.

And Democratic activists and people who register the voters. And the voters. They all need to be inspired by numbers. The last thing we want is apathy.

GOTV 2014 anyway.

Got it!

If not, the GOP is taking the Senate and several winnable governorships.

They really are the party of 'NO'.
