If you have liberal friends, don't even argue with them. Just congratulate them on their inevitable win and make sure to tell them the election is a done deal in favor of the Democrats. Most people won't vote in an off year election if they think their vote won't matter. I pulled this routine on a liberal friend of mine and guess what? She WON'T be voting this year because she figures there's no need to. Hee! Hee!
Do you know that you just responded to a 4 year old post? ;-)
