"So much terrified, disparaging energy was created in the last election. You can only watch [Stephen] Colbert's monologue and post things on Facebook so many times, but actually getting out and doing something is burning off steam. Some of these districts will be won by 10 votes. And the idea that, two weeks from now, finding out that the balance of the House depended on one of these districts and 10 votes is not inconceivable. I don't think any of us could live with ourselves if we had decided to stay home and what if one of these guys loses by 10 votes, and we lose the House?"
