Let's hope that after we have the winners in all the runoff campaigns tomorrow, that ALL Democratic candidates and campaigns from Obama on down will join up with the DNC, the NCDP and all 100 county Democratic Parties for a coordinated GOTV campaign for all candidates including the judges.

I hope we don't have a repeat of the 2008 campaign when we had 5 different "coordinated campaigns" that were anything BUT coordinated. And let's hope some cooler and more experienced heads prevail and we don't repeat the 2010 disaster!

Read a great Wikipedia article on Independent Voters - the reasons for their increasing numbers, as well as the relevancy of political parties. I find myself agreeing with the section of the article dealing with the impact of dealignment

Scholars who conclude that there has been a significant rise in independent voting and a concomitant dealignment of the American political system also often conclude that democracy has suffered as a result.

I do agree with this.
