Analyzing 2014's Republican Gains

Democrats and Democratic candidates need to focus on what we wish to see EXPAND in the world: Compassion and Peace and Fairness and Healing. People want to vote FOR something, not against something.

Colorado's Senator Mark Udall stuck to one issue and people couldn't concentrate on the good things Democrats have stood for.
