This whole thing is silly. Put Obama on the ballot and watch the Dems sweep again. The sheep didn't show because it was an off year election that didn't involve their lord and savior. 2010 won't be pretty, but historically, that is how it goes.

To what extent they depend on it may be indicated by turnout failure in Virginia by this cohort.
