The field is "target rich" when it comes to those associated with Obama, but no one has gained any real traction on the attack side, yet. Doesn't look like it will happen with the mid term elections (a major negative campaign), still time to "hope" for the POTUS election. If McCain run's again it won't happen, he's made it pretty clear he want's a basically clean fight. That could be his undoing, actually...
Bernie, that's a classic funny.  |
Do you get your info from the "FAIRY TALE BOOK OF POLITICS?" Or you just grab at any straw or make up imaginary scenarios to avoid reality. The pres is under 50% in approval, not running for office in 2010. But he will be no help to those seeking new terms. Congress, Democrat controlled, is as low in approval as they've ever been, and the power party always loses in mid terms. Plus the recent elections should have sent you a reality check. But I'm sure you only saw how the Republicans screwed up in a minor NY district. You didn't notice that the Dems lost 2 major Govenorships, that they fully expected to and historically win.
Going in to the 2010 elections, the Democrats will have to explain:
1.The STIMULUS, a monumental bad piece of expensive and ineffective partisan pork legislation.
AND
2. Probably the Health INSURANCE bill. Already destined to be the absolute worst, most expensive, and ineffective legislation ever by a wide margin.
There WAS near universal agreement that some health CARE reform was needed. Instead the Democrats in a 100% partisan manner try to take control of the insurance industry while only addressing health CARE by deciding to rob Peter to pay Paul. Peter being ALL taxpayers and all those presently covered by any health care program now.
