Two-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter, speaking on progressive radio talk show host David Sirota’s morning program, had this to say the day before the election (via WhoSaidYouSaid.com):

Rep. Ed Perlmutter: “The Republicans are bitter that they’ve just been losing election after election. And so they’ve really teamed up and that bitterness has shown up in these negative ads on TV [and] you know, some of the Tea Party rallies. And Democrats just have to remember, you know, you’ve got to keep going. Just because they’re screaming at you, doesn’t mean they’re right. And, you know, we’ve got to remember, you’ve got to just keep moving. If we’re going to change the direction of this nation, if we’re going to keep moving forward, you know, they’re going to try to intimidate us. But, we can’t let them do that.” [emphasis added]
