Down ticket is where races are won and future policy is created.

Correct you are. But if people are disheartened to the point of not bothering to get out and vote because of the top of the ticket then the impact if felt down ticket as well.
I still don’t understand the loss by Allen West in Florida’s 18th. Romney pulled something over 6,000 more votes than did West in the 18th. Had West got 1/2 of those votes he’d have won without a problem. Boggles the mind sometimes.
We agree. :)
And yes, West is a mystery. In a race as vicious as that one was, though, I can’t discount cheating. It appears to have been a widespread, and naturally unreported, problem.
