It should be a warning sign when your path to victory involves getting as few people to vote as possible.
Conversely, it should also be a warning sign when your party relies on voters that are too lazy and/or uninformed to vote in years when a president isn't on the ballot.
Uh, who said I was referring to black people? IIRC, their midterm dropoff wasn't even as big as some other groups. It's kind of telling about YOU though that you automatically assumed that was what I meant...
And it has nothing to do with policy issues. Many people (disproportionately Democratic, but many Republicans as well) just think there's no point in voting if a president isn't on the ballot. It's that simple, and may very well have as much to do with our horrible education system as it does with laziness, due to the fact that people think the president is all that matters and the rest of our government isn't important.
