But we need to show up at the polls. As is known in the Golden State, having a 33% voter turnout for a mid-term election is shameful. We need 65-70%

I hope those who sat on their hands in 2010 learned from their horrible mistake. And I'm talking about 65-70 nationally. I'd be happy with 72% voter tournout.

and embarrassedRand Paul was elected, but then our D candidate really screwed up big time. We've got lots of motivation to rid ourselves of McConnell and Ms. Grimes appears to be a game-changing candidate so I think that will translate into voters showing up.
