Maybe. Its easy to get the angry votes, and if the majority is angry, then the dems are fine. If the angry ones are just a smaller, and louder minority, then they're in trouble. Its hard to say.
From what I understand, and I may be wrong, traditionally 30% vote dem all the time no matter what, and 30% vote rep no matter what, its that 40% that decide elections. If that 40% is as polarized this time as they were in 2000 were in for another nerve-racking election.
But statements like "If you're not angry, you're not paying attention," are somewhat insulting to those that lie within that 40% that aren't angry, but may be open-minded to someone new in office, maybe there aren't many of these people though, but there is no need to cut them out, expecially when it comes down to a tight election.
