Obama Gets Run Over by the Change Bus......(He was too busy primping and posing)

The 2009 Democratic party playbook hinged on three elements, Obama's charisma, painting the Republican party as radicals, and relying on ACORN style Get Out the Vote operations.

If the gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia were to be seen as a way of taking the pulse of Obama’s popularity, the White House spin machine has to be just about ready for a trip to the ER. Obama’s people were already braced for a loss in Virginia, writing off Deeds for being insufficiently willing to turn over his campaign and office to Obama’s people to do with as they please. New Jersey’s Corzine however had followed every ugly step in the White House playbook, from backing their radical agenda, running petty personal attacks against the opposition and relying on ACORN’s gangbangers to bring out the vote.

But tonight Deeds and Corzine are out, and Obama’s political star has taken a beating. Obama alone isn’t to blame of course. Deeds was hardly a political superstar and Corzine was an arrogant and abusive politician whose favorite hobby was raising taxes on an already overtaxed state. Both men though would have had a much easier time with Bush in office and the perception that Republicans were asleep at the economic wheel. That is why Democrats have kept trying to run for office as the minority party pushing for change. The problem is that tonight’s election was indeed about change, and change meant giving the Democrats the boot.

In the twilight of 2009, most Americans still have the same concerns they did a year ago. The concerns about the economy haven’t changed, neither has their desire for a set of policies that works. Only the party in power has changed.

IMO, ACORN’s current “public scrutiny problem” contributed heavily to the [R] wins.

Vermin won’t come out of their holes if they know their holes are being watched.

This is the key to winning future elections; neutralizing ACORN by keeping their fraud at the forefront of public awareness.

Wow, this guy doesn’t much care for Obama.

I thought the information about complaints of gangbangers knocking on doors (Acorn) very telling.

And with these Marxists in charge the Terrorism and foreign affairs issues will return big time
