Turnout is key for Democrats next year

DCCC chair Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) tells The Hotline that the key to Democratic fortunes in the midterm elections will be mobilizing the voters who showed up for last year's presidential election. Said Van Hollen: "If you were to see the kind of turnout in the Congressional elections of 2010 that you saw in these off-year elections in Virginia and New Jersey, that would spell trouble. But there's no reason to believe that we're going to have that kind of turnout, because voters who came out to support Obama will understand that ... he has a huge stake."
