Rush always says liberals go crazy when they are out of power or see themselves losing power.
This is very early in the campaign process for an incumbent president to be significantly behind in polling. Even Jimmy Carter’s polls were positive right up to the last few weeks of the campaign.
I think the crazy distractions (contraceptives, gay marriage, Mitt’s a bully) are only going to increase as time goes on and Obama remains behind in polls. And oh my gosh, what will they do if the Supreme Court overturns Obamacare!
“Mitt’s a bully”
Yeah, he once threw a snowball at a girl in the fifth grade. LOL.
“This is very early in the campaign process for an incumbent president to be significantly behind in polling.”
Hmmm. Probably true for dem incumbents. They have had three years of adulatory media. The negative stuff doesn’t start hitting the general public until R’s start buying time on TV. OTOH, R incumbents are frequently down substantially at this point. I think W was polling considerably behind John Kerry about now. That’s because W had, at that point, had three years of unremittingly negative press.
It’s the timing of the negative campaign that causes this difference. It’s constant against R’s. It only happens to D’s in year four.
