Rakestraw weighs in on VA, NJ elections
By Frank Gerace

State Committeewoman Priscilla Rakestraw says Democrats' apparent inability to motivate voters a year after President Obama's election has to be their biggest concern.Audio Here

Rakestraw says young and minority voters didn't turn out Tuesday in numbers nearly as high as in last year's Presidential race, which is another potential problem for the Democrats heading into 2010's mid-term elections.

She also praised New Jersey Governor-elect Chris Christie for not running a negative campaign against Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine.
