Marjorie Margolies, whose career-ending vote Karen recently recounted, describes rock bottom in a Washington Post column addressed to wavering Dems.

I was pressed on all sides: by constituents opposed, my president needing a victory and Republicans promising my demise. I was in the country’s most Republican district represented by a Democrat. I had repeatedly said “I will not be a ‘read my lips’ candidate.”

I voted my conscience and it cost me.

I am your worst-case scenario. And I’d do it all again.
