Then I can assure you that you don't want to hear my thoughts or observations right now.

And my thoughts would not include the voter suppression efforts by many states... which is important to remember.

And my thoughts would not include the voter fatigue over the bad economy, eventhough it has improved since Bush.

It would be about my observations, on comments made on Malloy type message boards over the years. And the number of voting liberals, are voting less for the Democratic Party, and that number is growing.

Add that with the other two items I mentioned, and the vote count is going to be less then you are expecting.


Since you mentioned it and it worries you, what is your guestimate of how many Democratic votes are likely to be suppressed in November? Where do you think this voter suppression will likely make a difference in the results of the election?

On edit: just scrolled down to your map. It seems like very few of those states where the legislation has passed are battleground states. Most of them (in the south) are pretty solid Republican states.
