"But 2013 will be a much more difficult test. Not only does McAuliffe have significant candidate-specific liabilities, which I’ll get to shortly, but, perhaps more important, turnout in gubernatorial elections drops by 30 points or more compared to turnout for presidential elections. According to the Virginia State Board of Elections, it falls from low-to-mid 70 percent levels to low-to-mid 40 percent levels. Turnout decline occurs disproportionately among Democratic constituencies – young voters, single women, minorities – the very voters that the Obama campaign was able to identify and turn out in 2012." What conclusions should a thinking man draw from this data? Feel free to discuss . . . Oh, and New York Times, are there any "nutjobs" in the Democratic Party? Or is a "soulless hack" the absolute worst thing a Democrat can be?
