    Yep. It helped many of them to lose. Thank you Jon.

    No. That wasn't the point, either. If anything, a message that involved recommendations to be calm, civil, and reasonable where the other parties politics are concerned would hurt the left, given that the right refused to watch the thing.

    Source(s): The fact that you did not watch it is evidenced by the fact that you are evidently giving thumbs down to anybody who knows what it was about.

    It wasn't a political rally. It was about toning down the rhetoric.

    It was a rally in support of moderates.

    It might have brought a few people out that otherwise would not have voted, but it was not meant to. It was a call to sanity. It was a call to be reasonable. This election season is one of the worst, most dishonest seasons. Voters are more uninformed about the issues due to ridiculous ads and cable news channels spreading lies.

    I don't believe so. Swaying voters was not what the rally was about.

    He helped rally sanity.

    Not the point. He just wanted people to use common sense and I see that it failed.

    It did get Keith Olbermann to admit his "Worst Person (Republican) In The World" was insane...and so he's suspended it.

    That's a start...

    But, in answer to your question, no.

    We took the House. No.
