AG99: Just to clarify, I did not regard any of your earlier comments in this thread as uncivil. I nonetheless regard as suspect the repeated assertion that Democratic voters are lazy. A reputable citation supportive of those claims would be appreciated.

As another unaffiliated voter, like yourself, I concur that we are "where it's at" in terms of determining elections in states and districts that are not gerrymandered to the nth degree. I personally prefer progressive candidates over moderates, however.

Peace be with you.
