u. s. senate, we were able to hold every democratic majority since 1934, and win four new democratic majorities. >> the republican party has been concentrating at the state legislative level for a very long time. and that's why they have as much control as they do around the country. has it been difficult to get democratic voters to concentrate on this? because usually, in democratic campaigns, there tend to be political rock stars higher up on the ballot. gavin newsom types for governors, barack obama running for president, and so it becomes difficult to get the concept across about how important your state representative and your state senator is. >> it definitely is a challenge to get people to vote down ballot. we have a phenomenon we call ballot rolloff. folks will vote at the top of the ticket, but they may not vote at the bottom of the ticket. so one thing we have to do with the dlcc, is communicate with voters to make sure that voters understand the stakes. most of the policies that affect
