EJ & Meyerson on Midterms | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: They both tried to explain how the election was such a big deal. I disagree. Sadly, OFA was either not employed or were not successful in getting minority voters out at midterms. They need to be - although the story of the emerging Latino and African American voter has as much or more to do with the die off of Tea Party voters, which may take some time but is still moving on rather steadily. I am not being rude here - as demographers will tell you that 2.5% of the population of any year born who make it tor age 50 die each year until there are none left.
Other losses can be attributed to races that winning was a shock in the first place, like North Carolina, where the right people turned out. This is the Senate echo to the 2010 House defeats.
As for the governors races, the GOP did not win any states it does not win once in a while. Voters are more purple that anyone wants to admit, even in Illinois, the President's home state. Maryland can be written off as the race of the candidate and the existence of those voters who are truly of both ballot and neck. They will die off eventually, as must this column entry.
