No Red Tital Wave…Sorry

by at 11:34 pm.

Dick Howe (and his son in comments) have some numbers. Looking town by town (so far), the MA Republicans didn’t really increase (very much - in the range of 3-4%) their voter turnout. So what this means is, they were able to capitalize on Dems staying home. Hardly a Big Red Angry Wave.

If this analysis holds true statewide (and the sampling was pretty wide in Dick’s post and comments), this means a couple of things…first, the Republicans still have a ceiling, and it’s about the same ceiling they had in 08, and given a few numbers Andrew threw out on Facebook as well, not a great deal more than Romney in ‘02 either.

Second is that the big danger for state Dems is not keeping up the enthusiasm of your own people (D’s and D-leaners), which holds some cause for nervousness…but also shows us a path to consistent Democratic victory should we put the work in and run great candidates.

So, get involved and find great candidates!
