According to the NPR:
Just over a month away from critical elections across the country, the wide Democratic enthusiasm advantage that has defined the 2018 campaign up to this point has disappeared.
Oh, really? What’s the excuse going to be now, I wonder.
One reason is that the Democrats drastically overplayed their hand in the Kavanaugh situation (and still are). The Dems kept saying the situation would “enrage all the women of America” and drive them to the polls to vote Democratic. But polls indicate that Republican women are sticking with Trump, and that the Republican base is more mobilized by the Kavanaugh mess than the Democratic base.
I knew the Dems would blow it! 🙂

It’s not over until it’s over. I can’t believe they would blow this. But then again, I didn’t believe it in 2016.

Just because they said so on NPR doesn’t mean it’s true. I haven’t really seen any evidence that that’s true, nor have I observed it anecdotally.

Huh. Not sure that NPR would have come to that conclusion if they’d talked to people around where I live. Lots of folks I know are spending their evenings and weekends running voter registration drives and canvassing for our “Blue Wave” congressional candidate as well as a lot of down-ticket races.

It jives with my personal experience because my enthusiasm for “the blue wave” couldn’t possibly be lower than it is right now.
