As far as I can tell a LOT of different groups were involved in the last election. Youth, for instance, seems to be important as was abortion and I can't leave out the extremities of the Republicans as well. The Dems worked very hard to get everybody to vote but the Republicans seem to work very hard to show just what loons they could produce to the rest of the world. The Republicans, in other words, worked as hard as the Dems did to make sure the Dems did as well as they did.

Many Republicans were, basically, seriously offensive and crazy thereby seriously turning off voters.

The Dems should be grateful to them, but keep that to themselves.
