Wrong!! In a deep blue State like yours the expectation is it will remain so and this depresses the Rep voter. However when the turnout is high DESPITE the fact they believe the State will stay blue it means this same excitement among Rep. will ocurr Nationwide and we benefit in those States we can and must win.
High turnout in a Dem state means lots of Dems are voting. This is pretty simple to follow.
If Dems there were demoralized then that Dem state would have low turnout. Maryland had huge turnout in 2008. Was that a good sign?
