I think us GOPers are savvy and will vote the right way. My concern is the independents. The normally sit out a mid-term election, but if the media has them rilled up my fear is they will decide to vote and vote the wrong direction for this country.

Too many people still don't get it, you cannot be independent in this day and age and people need to get off the fence and declare themselves and support our country.

Define the "independent voter". Negative campaigning always reduces turnout (one of those Atwater/Morris maxims), and the Independent (who, presumably, has no actual values to stand on) really has no reason to come out this year.

What we're up against is the mediacracy. They're showing themselves as blatantly partisan, and I'd like to think most Americans can see through it.

Not even all Repubs are FReepers, at least yet. It's our job to GOTV.

I think you are right most GOPers even if they are not totally seeing issues worked to their satisfaction are staying cool headed and thinking of the long term big picture.

I just want us to see the GOP get every possible vote they can. Thanks DN
