Dem’s Spinning Away On Yesterdays Election Forgetting That Rahm Said VA & NJ Wins Were Huge In 2005

Just as many of us predicted the Democrat leadership is frantically spinning yesterdays election saying that Virginia and New Jersey are no big deal while NY-23 should....get this....actually reassure bluedog Dem's:

Centrist, Blue Dog Democrats should be reassured on their healthcare vote by last night's election, White House senior advisor David Axelrod said Wednesday.

Axelrod said that Democrats' victory in New York's 23rd congressional district should reassure Democrats who are concerned about the political ramifications of any vote for the House's health reform bill.

Which is hilarity in the extreme. Owens is, as KOS described him in less then glowing terms, a "Lieberdem."

If the Democrat loses the race, we lose nothing -- it was previously held by a Republican. If he wins the seat, we gain another obnoxious Blue Dog, undermining our caucus from within while adding just a single vote to our already dominant House majorities.

Owens won because he was a moderate...end of story. And no moderate bluedog is going to feel a-ok with voting to spend a trillion dollars on healthcare especially when people are very anxious about it.

More proof that the Bluedog's are worried?

Vulnerable House and Senate Democrats want their leaders to skip the party’s controversial legislative agenda for next year to help save their seats in Congress.

In the run-up to the 2010 midterm elections, they don’t want to be forced to vote on climate change, immigration reform and gays in the military, which they say should be set aside so Congress can focus on jobs and the economy…

Lincoln said that lawmakers should focus on passing healthcare reform and wait until next year to effect financial regulatory reform and reduce unemployment.

“That’s an awful lot to bite off and chew for right now,” said Lincoln, who described herself as “not in a hurry” to tackle climate change, an issue she has some jurisdiction over as chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee.

Sen. Evan Bayh (D), who is running for reelection in conservative-leaning Indiana, said “jobs should be our top priority and we shouldn’t do anything that detracts from that,” echoing a sentiment of many colleagues in similar positions.

And:

So what’s new from the communists spin machine.

The last paragraph (sorry i didn’t repost) about how Obama continues to show himself as a ‘less-than deft’ politician seems to be a truth that the media is having a hard time spinning. With more and more people turning to the free flow of information for their news, the truth is winning it. It’s amazing that one said has to conceal the truth in order to protect it’s power.

Sidenote. The more that I see Obama slide into mediocrity, the more I worry a cabal of leftists will conspire to “martyr” him and set him up in the JFK fashion. The amount of time being spent on portraying the family life, the date nights, the gardens, etc, are all there to portray him as the “perfect” man. If I was Obama, I would make sure I knew what was going on in the back rooms of Congress these days and keep Biden on a 24/hr leash.

Pelosi's comments are absolutely ridiculous...

Watching the Factor with Dennis Miller last night and his comments was hilarious...
