Besides, no Pub would ever do ANYTHING they thought would marginally help elect a Dem to anything. I don't know what you've tried to energize other Dems to vote, but nothing seems to work. I HOPE they stomp & scream, but in the end, do what's right and do their jobs. IF TEY DON'T, and it energizes the Dems in Nov., then, hooray for us.

takes 120 days. Holding up a qualified nominee for almost a year will bring out the Democrats in droves.
