Is that Democracy Corps or Democracy Corpse?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Obie and his commie buddies have been railing against "the man" all their lives and continue to do so.

Most thinking people, however, realize that "the man" is the one who gives them "the job".

I hope all this rat panic isn’t a ploy, to let repubs think the election in the bag for the GOP. Rats trying to convince repubs not to show on election day because of a GOP landslide. Just sayin’

[Dilbert San Diego]

What’s going on with Carville?

He wrote a book, in which he wrote that Democrats were poised to rule for the next 40 years. Now he’s one of the ones who is panicked about this election??? How can that be???

But, is he really panicked? After all, Carville is a Clintonista. Once a Clintonista, always a Clintonista.

Are the Clintons going to shed too many tears if Obama goes down to defeat????

[goat granny]

I don’t think Obama would take advise from anyone including God. He is a *know it all* and they can never learn..

[hoosierham]

obama fate is not out of his hands:all he has to do is abandon all the false doctrines,and .....nevermind....

[rawcatslyentist]

No need to panic or worry.
The RNC has selected his pale clone, to carry on his work.
The destruction of our nation will continue unabated.

His prospects depend primarily on how the economy — especially the job market — does during the next four months or so.

Most of the jobs/economic reports of the last 2 weeks or so show a reversal -- things are getting worse, not better.

That means Team Obama's policies have failed, because it takes about 18 months for the economy to hit bottom or grow out of a recession. Thus, we should be about 2/3 out of the current economic mess -- if Team Obama's policies had worked.

Instead, jobless claims are ticking up, family income has dropped drastically, job creation is in the 20,000 new jobs per week while new unemployment claims are rising again to the 380,000 per week.

There does not seem to by anything in place to cause a drastic turnaround in the next 4 months. Instead, Obama is speechifying the same ole rhetoric: infrastructure spending [didn't work with the earlier bailouts] and taxing the wealthy.

However, the Greenberg-Carville focus groups show that Romney does have vulnerabilities. People in the focus groups tended to hold his wealth against him, believing that it makes him out of touch with their problems. And when they found out that Romney has embraced the Ryan budget, and that budget was described to them (in what manner, I don’t know), they viewed Romney less favorably than before.

The focus groups were likely made up (mostly if not completely) of democrats. They're unfavorable toward republicans by nature, and their idea of economic growth is through government spending and largess. They'd naturally be against any spending plans that don't grow the government, and likely favor increased stimulus spending. Nor will they ever consider an alternative. It's just not possible.

Obama still has two important things going for him--wholehearted support by the media, and the potential of manufacturing an "October surprise."

In 1980 Carter had less gung-ho support from the media--even though he is a Democrat, the media elite could never forgive him for being a Southern white male or for having sincere religious beliefs. John Anderson was there to siphon off liberal Democrats who were fed up with Carter.

Carter's rhetoric got pretty shrill just before the election. Of course, with Obama, the rhetoric has been shrill all the time.

Sounds like the “Rats” are starting to form a circular firing squad.

[Vaduz]

If Democratic loyalists had any logic they would panic about hime being reelected.

[luvbach1]

What a campaign theme! “We’ll do better next time.”

[RetSignman]

Panic? What do they have to panic about? He's way too articulate to lose.

what Obama will do to make a better future for the middle class

So 0bammy will go from trying to kill off the middle class through class warfare to making a better future for it? Hussein is totally incompetent, a committed socialist and a liar. What makes the dim "braintrust" think ANYONE would believe his message?

Rush had a piece from the NYTimes months ago where it said ZEro was going to ignore the working groups and middle class and run to the extremes of poverty and wealth.
