I'm Encouraged That The Ds Began Talking About Getting Down-Ticket Candidates Elected

Because a landslide for President Obama is not going to mean much if the Rs are still able to control the House and obstruct in the Senate. Obama could win 49 states, and the Rs would deny he has a mandate.

The Rs really believe that they have the right policies for this country, and that a landslide for POTUS only means that the American voter has somehow been deceived, and that it their job to fight for the "correct" vision for America that the majority of Americans just don't get.

That's why we need to increase our presence in the Senate and to take back the House in 2012.
