In case the rest of the media didn't get the memo - the plan is say the name "Boehner" so many times that people start understanding who this guy is. Boehner, Boehner, Boehner.

Like the American public is going to get all excited about what Boehner does or doesn’t do.
Pelosi is a player to American voters. So is Reid. Boehner is a ???? They don’t know him and don’t see him as a big deal - good or bad.
Axelrod said Boehner 6 times in his interview Sunday.
As Quinn said this morning, the MSM will soon be resurrecting the favorable - unfavorable poll ratings for Speaker of the House, like they did when Newt was Speaker.
That is, unless the Speaker Boehner numbers show positive...
The only valid story is about Pork Barrel Barry and his profligate spending Democrat Congress people. It’s no surprise that David Axelrod’s flying monkeys will push forward any distraction or red herring to divert the public’s attention away from the main problem facing the nation. I don’t care about any mosque issues, who the Republican minority whip is, Snooki etc. The only important thing is rolling back the spending.
Yeah, I just find it amusing thsat the Today Show is eagerly playing along tring to repeat his name as often as it possibly can. I’m trying to find the transcript of the Robert Gibbs interview with Merredith Vierra - it was even worse.
Boehner is the new Bush.
I guess it’s dawned on them that saying “Bush” 20 x in 3 min. wasn’t working out the way they had planned.
Merideth Vierra to Robert Gibbs, “why would the Presdient invoke Congressman Boehner’s name eight times (roll clip) and is it a strategy to keep saying Boehner, Boehner, Boehner, I mean who is this guy Boehner? Could you, Boehner, explain, Boehner? Boehner.”
They have a lot of work ahead of them just to get the guy’s name to register with average Americans. They have no clue who he is.
I don’t think it is so much for the lost-cause 2010 elections they’re doing this as it is a preemptive strike against the incoming speaker. They’ve got to prepare the ground for the shock-n-awe media air strikes already planned to make him the Speaker Gingrich of January, 2011.
Trying to “freeze” and “Polarize” Boehner per the Alinsky model. It doesn’t seem to be resonating with the masses. Imagine that!
But even Boehner fails to rise to the occassion, the most likely scenario is that a couple weeks from now they realize this tactic is not working since other than his own race nobody is actually running AGAINST Boehner, so who cares? The dems then turn to some other tactic de jur that also does not work. This is the pattern in the Obama administration. Do something goofy for a while, realize it doesn't work when it's too late, then think of something else goofy to do.
As Quinn said this morning, the MSM will soon be resurrecting the favorable - unfavorable poll ratings for Speaker of the House, like they did when Newt was Speaker.

E.G., he's half-hearted. If he came out swinging, he might do the party a hell of a lot of good. Ain't gonna happen. He's a good-enough guy, but a careful, cautious, career politician. Typical Republican elected official. Wouldn't want to offend anyone. A friendly puppy. Not a pit bull.
The country has reached the state in which anyone driving in the "Middle of the Road," is only going to get everyone angry. A lesson the RINOs are learning very, very slowly.
We need an attack dog who will bark back at Team Obama, and bite. If Newt Gingrich ever realizes that he is toast as a candidate, he could do this.
To me, the real ju jitsu is in having Boehner NOT take the speakership after the GOP regains the majority.
I think one of the smoothest moves would be for him to announce that he was not going to assume the speakership and allow Eric Cantor or Paul Ryan or someone who can emerge with positive media image and present a positive message effectively and coherently to take the gavel. I don’t think Bohener can do that. It it would be a rather large act on his part to waive the Speakership - but you can’t say he deserves it in the way Newt did after he engineered the 1994 results. Boehner is essentially an innocent bystander beneficiary of the popular revulsion to Obama.
If we do win the House, Boehner might not be he best man for the job. As the zero administration targets Boehner, it might be a good time to look for someone better. If Paul Ryan weren’t so damn young, he would be a shoe-in for speaker. Ryan stood up in a big way to the arrogant and condescending at the faux “health-care summit”.
How cute.
And typical.
Goes to show how very bankrupt the Democrat party is.
