2014 is the most important mission.. 2016 does not start till then

[Peacetrain]

Seriously.. 2014..cannot be repeated enough.. be looking at those canidates..

Even Hillary is not going to make any announcements till then.. because it just muddies up the water and gets people off track and not paying attention to what is right in front of them.

And after that, I think a lot of people are in for a shock.. I don't think our eventual 2016 canidate is even on the radar yet.

But I do know who needs my support today..

1. Great point

Let us take back the House and keep the Senate and blow the minds of the M$M talking heads.

2. Like it or not, some of us enjoy presidential election politics all of the time.

I personally find it entertaining.

That doesn't mean we can't also work for off year elections.

4. You are right. In order for the Dem. president to become effective in what s/he does in 2017, s/he

needs both Houses of Congress beginning in 2015. And to do this, we need Democrats
to vote en masse in Nov., 2014. If we don't do this, we'll have only ourselves to blame.

[Peacetrain]

5. Exactly.. you put it better than I did

Our side did not turn out in 2010.. and that put in place a republican stranglehold on districts that will be there for 10 years.. and that puts in place republicans that tie everything up in congress..not to mention state houses..

6. I sure hope those working the phones or going from door to door urging Democrats to vote in

November, 2014, will stress this point of the crap we are now taking from the Republicans is
the result of too few Democrats having voted in 2010 (an "off-year" election like now 2014,
they didn't think it was serious enough). Let's not make the same mistake again. Everything
depends on Nov. 2014!

7. Phone banking has been interesting this year

I live in a very red part of Iowa.. and the Koch brothers..( the two older ones ) have just been playing havoc with us.. they have a very interesting strategy.. that unfortunately seems to be having some effect here.. the Republican party for the most part is running really upbeat ..music soaring kind of feel good commericals.. and the Kochs, Roves group etc.. just the worst negative kind of ads..the only ones with a name attached are the republican party commericals.. and the right is saying that the left is running dirty campaigns and negative commericals..when it is them doing it.. It is just jaw dropping how people are looking at these negative campaigns attacking democrats by outside sources (thanks for nothing SCOTUS), and then when you talk to them, it is the Democrats who are running the negative campaigns, according to the people who you talk to.. I wish I was making this up.. but I am afraid, people are just stuck on stupid.. even our "side"? will fall for the same thing..

8. So you're only able to do one thing at a time...

...because I can multitask. I'm supporting a lot of Senate and Governor candidates, but I can still encourage the Presidential candidates I like.

11. This is the correct answer.

9. Most, or probably all of us,

know who we are voting for in 2014. I will not forget to vote for Mary Landreiu; so 2016 is certainly where my mind is focused. I don't miss a vote and I support dems all the way. So, please, what else am I supposed to do?

[Sunlei]

10. Hope people care enough about their future to vote. Agree about 2016, they aren't on the radar.
