Making yet another of those insightful statements for which he will be forever remembered, V.P. Joe Biden told CNN News just before Election Day that, “if you look at every single major issue of the campaign, the American public agree with [the White House] position.” But if the vice president’s latest laugh line were actually true, why would his fellow liberals want to do away with midterm elections?
A “public policy” professor and a junior at Duke University have written an Op-Ed piece for the New York Times in which they claim that “the 2 year [election] cycle isn’t just unnecessary; it’s harmful to American politics (read Democrat Party).” For the authors maintain that after a president with a well-developed agenda (such as Hope and Change) enters the White House “…the midterm election cripples that same president’s ability to advance that agenda.”
Could it be that midterm voters want no more of that “well-developed agenda” after 2 years have revealed what it is actually about?”
There are 2 simple reasons for the left wanting to end midterms. First, since World War II, Democrat presidents “have lost an average of 31 House seats and 4-5 Senate seats in midterms.” Republican presidents have lost an average of 20 House seats and 3 in the Senate.

What’s wrong with being white? I’m pretty much over apologizing for my pink cheeks.
In fact, everyone I know is no longer flogging themselves daily over being white. I know, according to some, I’ve taken a controversial position, but white I was born and white I am.
Sorry, that card burned six years ago.

Oh yeah, NOW. What a couple of aholes.
Were not getting what we want so we want to change the process. WHAAAAA!
You mean those darn working people with principles and ethics and family values....aka the people who made America great!!
Well, Hell’s Bells. Most of those Democrats were damned rich white people, anyway.
After the Group of 88 fiasco I tune out ANYTHING someone from Duke has to say.

Must be speaking of Zuckerberg and his amnesty Gang of Eight support. ‘Rat G8 members didn’t fare too well.
He goes on to say “who needs to render a verdict at the ballot box every two years when you have Twitter?”
“…which is whiter, wealthier, older and more educated than presidential elections.”
My democrat acquaintances keep telling me that democrats are way smarter and nuanced than “rethuglican” rubes, so which is it?
Erudite, scholarly, penetrating analysis of pressing issue that must be addressed now. Two year interval elections are extremely damaging to the political (democratic process that we cherish. So we should sweep them away, as well as four year interval elections, in fact, end any and all elections would promote the most fairness for Americans.
Danged idiots with 50,000 dollar/year goberment goofball “educations” are our ruin.
They don’t want to admit that most Democrats are just in it for the free gimmies
You mean those Rich, White People who just elected the First Black Senator from the Deep South since Reconstruction?
...racist...
According to the cultural Marxists, you have no ethnicity. Only the melanin-enhanced are "ethnic."
