April 20, 2014, 11:51 am DNC head: Midterms not about Obama
By Erik Wasson The midterm elections will not be a referendum on President Obama's performance in the White House, the Democratic National Committee chairwoman said Sunday.
“No, absolutely not,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) told NBC's "Meet the Press." “These elections, particularly the Senate elections, are referendums on the candidates running.”
NBC's David Gregory asked Wasserman Schultz if keeping the Senate and taking back the House are an uphill climb given the president's low poll numbers and the unpopularity of ObamaCare.
Forty-nine percent of those polled in the most recent Gallup survey say they disapprove of the president's job performance. Only 45 percent said they approve.
Wasserman Schultz said that the election will be hard-fought and Democrats can prevail if they can get base voters to the polls.
“This election is going to be quite competitive all the way to the end, but we have to turn our voters out. That's the bottom line,” she said. “There are millions of people who understand the benefits to the healthcare law.”
She argued that the GOP will be hurt by “extreme” Tea Party candidates in this cycle, adding “we have countless elections now that Democrats have won because the Republicans have nominated extremists that they're voters reject, and that's the advantage we will have going into this election.”
Dem voter fraud will be bigger than normal... every race that’s close will be targeted by the cheats.
According to those in power, the election is not about Obama, nor is it about ObamaCare or the alleged recovery. There isn’t a whole lot to brag about from their past five years in power - just record federal debt, record federal deficits, and record slow job creation. They will try a few more trial balloons and then see if the election is about a $20 per hour minimum wage as a tool for job creation, about a war on women by the party that doesn’t murder 500,000 unborn girls a year, or about something else creative that a focus group invents.
It’s like the captain of the Titanic saying “It’s not about icebergs.”
What a Schitzo. She just said a couple weeks back the Rats need to run on Obamacare.
Mmmmmm.......the unpopularity of Obamacre's gonna
put a real crimp on Dims' campaign strategies what with
Dummycrats' lock-stepping party loyalty not seen since
1940's era Europe.
Kinda reminds me of Peter Sellers trying to subdue
his natural instincts to salute smartly to der leader.

yup, that or carrot top is a toss-up...
That lets out Debbie.
Mary Travers, though, started out as a ravishingly beuatiful maiden, and ended up as Jabba the Hut.
It’ll be fun to hear from each democrat which of the Kenyan Klown’s policies they opposed these past five years.
She was all over south Florida media this week. Not one challenging question from the “journalists”.
Educated by union teachers, no doubt.
DWS is denying reality, but her strategy is a flimsy attempt to instruct voters what to believe...its pathetically desperate when this is all you have.
She is an evil possessed liar.
“The mid-terms will not be about Obama, but if they were, they would be racist.”
