Les démocrates grands perdants des élections de mi-mandat?

Un des grands responsables du succès des campagnes électorales de Barack Obama, le stratège David Plouffe, sonne l'alarme depuis la défaite d'un démocrate en Floride. Selon lui les démocrates ne parviennent plus à faire "sortir le vote", à rejoindre la base électorale qui a porté Obama au pouvoir en deux occasions. Si on considère la très grande influence de Plouffe, une telle intervention devrait secouer fortement son parti d'ici à l'élection de novembre prochain.

 "If President Obama’s 2012 campaign was known for anything, it was its voter mobilization operation, said to be the most sophisticated ever assembled in a presidential campaign. Which makes David Plouffe’s comments over the weekend all the more telling for Democrats as they look nervously toward the November midterm elections.

 When Republican David Jolly defeated Democrat Alex Sink in Florida’s 13th Congressional District a week ago, Democratic leaders explained away the outcome by arguing that the district tilted heavily in favor of the GOP in midterm and especially special elections. Rep. Steve Israel (N.Y.), who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said that Republicans had a 13-point turnout advantage and that Democrats had made up almost all of that ground, only to fall a few points short."
