It comes down to not counting one's chickens before they hatch.

Republican Advantage in 2010 Voting Enthusiasm Shrinks

Republican Advantage in 2010 Voting Enthusiasm Shrinks

Registered voters remain divided in congressional voting preferences


PRINCETON, NJ -- Republican registered voters' enthusiasm about voting in this year's midterm elections has declined significantly in recent weeks. As a result, Republicans' advantage over Democrats on this measure has shrunk from 19 points in early April to 10 points in the latest weekly aggregate.

In the primary elections held in a few states this last Tuesday Republican participaton was strong while Democrat turn out was down significantly.

The fact is a large segment of Obama voters in 2008, young people who were in a hope and change trance, will not show up at the polls this November.

The question, were these state running an "open" primary, or closed? It makes a big difference.

This thread falls into the category of whistling past the graveyard.

Or, as the joke goes among one key Democrat constituency:

"What did Barney Frank say to Andrew Sullivan as they passed the funeral parlor?"

" 'Wanna stop in for a cold one?' "

How can you claim something is fact when it's May 2010 not November 2010? Things change very rapidly in politics. Thanks to Arizona, more Dems are getting re-involved. With their epic failure in preventing healthcare, teabaggers and other assorted idiotic republicans haven't been out drooling much either.
