During the 2010 mid-term election, a lot of Democrats did not get out to vote and as a result our asses were handed to us on a silver platter.
However, a lot of critics on the Left were raising their hands claiming it was Obama's fault that people did not get out to vote. I always say, you keep repeating something and people will end up having difficulty distinguishing the truth from the misrepresentation as such during the mid-term many voters were confused and disengaged.
The Republican spin machine was quite effective demonizing the HCR bill even democrats had difficulty understanding the access it gives to 30 million Americans not to mention the 20 million American households that will qualify for subsidized insurance. Moreover, some Democrats "Kill The Bill" efforts wasn't helpful either in order to get the message out to most of these low information voters. .
