A Sleeper Issue

A. B. Stoddard writes for The Hill on the subject "What if Republicans lose?" The issues she raises are valid ones, but she pointedly (I surmise) omits a major imponderable: Ferguson.

What if the black vote in 2014 is much larger than typical for a midterm election? It could happen, even though Ferguson has become a non-issue to non-blacks.

We've moved on, blacks probably have not. We'll know in 8 days. How ironic if an officer defending himself in suburban MO changes the direction of national politics.
