IF we ALL get out and VOTE and each bring 3 people along with us, I think the dems would be pretty much done and a new "liberal" party would be formed.

GOP fortunes lie with the independent voters. In a mid term election independents will come out if they think the country is in a world of hurt and they are personally suffering (i.e financially). If gasoline prices go low and the economy is strong, why should the independents come out? If that is the case, then it all comes down to which party can turn out their voters. If I hear that we have heavy turn out in my district, then the independents are motivated to come out in a midterm election (meaning bad news for the incumbent).

I'm doing MY part and I hope that everyone else here will be doing their part too...voting a straight GOP ticket ( even if it means placing two clothespins on their nose ! ) and taking at least two others with them to vote.
