Memo To Dems: Ignore The Base And You'll Lose Elections

[SecularMotion]

DUMMERSTON, Vt. -- For political junkies, the off-year elections held around the nation on Tuesday were pretty thin gruel. There weren't many surprises.

In Virginia, we saw that when Democrats field a lousy candidate for governor, like Creigh Deeds, that lousy candidate will lose.

In New Jersey, we saw that when an incumbent, like Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine, goes into his re-election campaign with an approval rating in the 30s, you generally lose.

In Maine, we again saw that if same-sex marriage is presented to the voters to decide upon, it gets rejected.

And in upstate New York, we saw that the Tea Party Republicans don't have as much clout as they think.

Off-year elections are generally decided by local concerns more than national ones, and the exit polls show that the right-wing narrative - Tuesday's elections were a referendum on the Obama Administration - to be pure bunk.
