Developing Story on DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN WATCH --
Early this morning I had the pleasure of reading the on-line article linked to below. This article from the Brookings Institute has some good data on the debacle which was Election 2014. This election must be understood before Democrats can regain control of the national legislature.
There are many gems here and I want to take my time later to highlight several items. But before going further, let the reader be reminded of the allegations contained in the research of Greg Palast that voter disenfranchisement very likely played a role in at least one Democratic defeat. This defeat was probably in Arkansas. However, I suspect evidence that Kay Bailey Hutchison was also a victim in North Carolina.
Good news, however, also came out of North Carolina with Democratic candidates winning local office in the Raleigh area.
Fortunately, Democrats are not standing still. The fiasco of Election 2014 must be understood. It is clear already, though, that this election did not represent a wave election for the Republicans, but was more of a stand-down by voters coupled with dishonest Republican maneuverings.
