Democrats Discover "VOTING" Could Be Key To Mid-Term Win

Could it be? This article from tomorrow's Times suggests Democrats have finally figured out that getting out the vote is important. And this one, from the Washington Post, says that there are Dem-favorable wedge issues as ballot referendums out there.

Could Democrats be paying attention and figuring out key winning tactics from the Republican playbook can work for them, too? I kinda don't believe it.
