Yes it would take an extraordinary event for the Dems to pull this off this time, but...

DO. NOT. BECOME. COMPLACENT. !!!!

The GOTV effort is crucial. We want the margin to be as wide as possible. And we want coattails to drag as many House of Delegates candidates over the line as we can.

Read the article yesterday where Mudcat called the administration's efforts in this regard as chicken sh**. I think that the other driving factor that may never get reported but will surely be noticed is a clean sweep. If the GOP picks up the Governorship, Lt Governorship, and Attorney General, that is a shot Democrats should hear loud and clear.

Wonder if any will be listening?

I suspect VA will be ignored and the NJ results hyped if the Dems lose in VA but win in NJ. I don’t think they will hear the message at all

I think you are right about New Jersey. In all reality New Jersey should be seen as a harbinger of things to come even if Corzine remains, because if Daggett hadn't entered the race, some polls have Corzine down by 10 pts.

I just wonder how some of these “moderate” Dems are going to vote on healthcare and cap and trade given this August and the upcoming races. I suspect some may be listening but I agree that the Democratic leadership as a whole is whistling passed the graveyard. Hopefully they get the message in 2010 when it is too late to do anything about it.

I am just cynical about the voters.

Here in MN, after overriding the Governor's veto, the Democrat Legislature in 2007, at the height of the gas price hike, passed a gas tax increase that 65% of Minnesotans said they opposed.

Then in 2008 all these angry Minnesotans went right to the polls and expanded the tax hiking Democrats majority in the Legislature.

They re-elected the same set of politicians that were busy wrecking their paychecks while firing some of the guys who defended their paychecks

She’s a Democrat for McDonnell, she says.

This is the template for Republicans in 2010....get Dems who are disillusioned with Obama on TV. This will tell some of the holdouts that it is OK to come out against Obama....you are not racists.

Republicans should follow McDonnell's lead....focus on issues, spending, etc.....all the conservative planks.

do this and we can really damage Obama this year and next.

Virginia will be a Republican win...New Jersey will be a Democartic win and New York NY-23 will be a suprise Democratic Win because of the Republican and conservative candidates splitting votes. My prediction...we will see what happens.

I think you hit the nail on the head...yesterday’s WaPo article was the official Democratic benediction on the Deeds race, and the first attempt to separate the “Annointed One” from the defeat.

Truth is, Deeds ran as an Obama Democrat, supporting all the “right” issues and launching vicious attack ads on Bob McDonnell. What will be interesting is Deeds’ response to the Post article—and criticism from the Obama camp. My guess is that Deeds will be rewarded with some ambassadorship or similar high-level post. So, he’ll go quietly into the night, and avoiding besmirching “The One.”

Three good men. It's nice to actually vote for someone this time, isn't it.

“Nor did he wilt under the harsh glare of the Post’s attention.”

Very, VERY important. Allen made a huge mistake by continuously responding to the stupid “macaca” thing which just kept him on the defensive and open to further attacks. I’m glad that McDonnell didn’t make the same error.

I think Deeds might be doing better if his name didn’t make him sound like an inbred axe murderer.

If one wanted to really be an agent provocateur, one would find some Craig Deeds campaign chat rooms, go in posing as a supporter (and an angry one, at that) and stir up The Perfect s''t Storm against the White House/Obama for ruining it for them even before their chickens are hatched, and drive even more grassroots Democrat wedges against The Messiah, out in flyover country.

The way this White House throws people under the bus, all in order to save their own hides, is stupendous.
