Inoculating Prior To Rout?

[Kathianne]

Seems to be a 'smaller loss' would trump the dire predictions?

At least 70 House seats in play, says Obama's campaign adviser
By Michael O'Brien - 09/07/10 02:21 PM ET
President Obama's top political guru said Tuesday that he believes 70 House races and 15 Senate races are in play this fall.

White House senior adviser David Plouffe — Obama's 2008 presidential campaign manager — said that a bevy of races were in play, from the national to local level.

"There are a lot of competitive races out there. There's going to be at least 70 House races in play, about 15 competitive Senate races, a couple dozen tough gubernatorial races," he said in a video to supporters of Organizing for America, the president's political arm.

Plouffe painted a picture of a dire electoral landscape in which, if Democrats were to lose the majority of those races, their losses would be massive...

That's what I want to see. Massive losses for the dims. Any election for the history books with record breaking turnovers.

I'm looking forward to the new governor Ohio will have after Nov. too.

How it's being reported over here,


Democrats in Congress are no longer asking themselves whether this is going to be a bad election year for them and their party. They are asking whether it is going to be a disaster. The GOP pushed deep into Democratic-held territory over the summer, to the point where the party is well within range of picking up the 39 seats it would need to take control of the House. Overall, as many as 80 House seats could be at risk, and fewer than a dozen of these are held by Republicans.
Political handicappers now say it is conceivable that the Republicans could also win the 10 seats they need to take back the Senate. Not since 1930 has the House changed hands without the Senate following suit.
Is this a piece from National Review, The Weekly Standard, The Wall Street Journal or Fox News.com, all major conservative news outlets in the United States? No. It’s a direct quote from yesterday’s Washington Post, usually viewed by conservatives as a flagship of the liberal establishment inside the Beltway. The fact The Post is reporting that not only could Republicans sweep the House of Representatives this November, but may even take the Senate as well, is a reflection of just how far the mainstream, overwhelmingly left-of-centre US media has moved in the last month towards acknowledging the scale of the crisis facing the White House.

I think disaster is putting it too mildly, more on the lines of cataclysmic.

Yeah, you and millions of other Cons. And while you slobber over your imminent political recovery, where will the country be left the morning after? You have excelled in obstruction, and apparently are going to be rewarded for it politically; but what are your policy proposals?

I won't bother with the translation. We already know. You'll do nothing, propose nothing that Democrats could possibly find acceptable (let alone anything good for the country). And then your charge in '12 will be that Obama was 'ineffectual.'

Cheers to the Cons, for dragging our country down more by the hour.

Obstructionists vs. Steamrollers .... hmmmmm which one would I rather deal with??

I reserve this for only the most deserving. YOU'RE A MORON!
Obama is not "ineffectual" he's FUCKING "INCOMPETENT". Elected by the mindless. Good gawd, they live among us!
