Amid new polls showing Democrats losing momentum with voters, the White House is sounding less confident about its chances in November.
The new posture is one-half reality check, one-half calculated strategy -- aimed at waking the party's base from a state of general apathy.
"I think I did what is maybe uncommon in this town," said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. "I opened my mouth and stated the obvious."
Gibbs over the weekend publicly acknowledged for the first time that Republicans could win control of the House.
It was not a far-fetched conclusion. A new Gallup poll found 38 percent of Republicans very enthusiastic about the midterm elections, compared to 25 percent of Democrats.
The pollsters also found the parties statistically tied heading into November, and noted that Democrats are unlikely to gain a substantial lead in the meantime.
That means for the White House, hitting the panic button for Democratic voters is now just as important as crafting an appealing message

Yep. I can see Barack and Michelle singing that chorus.
Democrats only want to grease your birds and take your jobs away.

They are getting all wee-weed up.
I sure hope we don’t blow this one. November 2nd has several large red circles around it on my calendar. I am hoping it will be the highlight of my year.
Baraq will have plenty of time to golf this fall.
No Dem candidate will want him anywhere around the campaign.
In the musical words of Dandy Don Meredith.... “turn out the lights the party’s over.”
Someone ought to dig out that clip of Pelosi during the 2006 election begging voters to give the Democrats another chance because “We’ve changed.”
Expose the lie.
1. Claim we are in recovery.
2. If #1 doesn’t work, tell people you are going to give them more free money.
3. If #2 doesn’t work, blame Bush.
4. If #3 doesn’t work, cry Racism.
5. If #4 doesn’t work, PANIC!!!!!
I am SHOCKED that Bobby Gibbs has even the slightest acquaintance with “the obvious”.

:’) That’ll tee him off.

Funny you should say that. I saw on the news today that Bill Clinton will be campaigning for the Democrats because he is more popular than Obama. Obama is radioactive...
I can’t help but laugh whenever I see Gibby the Hamster on TV. I keep expecting him to start squeeking and looking for food pellets.
They’ll try to get as many as possible on welfare to build up their voter base-! LBJ actually admitted as much-!
I think he was picked to do that, so the Bummer team has a publicly visible reason for shifting its oratory into the “you really want to keep us” mode. Going around with all singing the Super Confident Song would give them no way to modulate the key.
“That’s very nice Bill, but you aren’t a candidate and most are well to your left now. Sit down and shut up.”
That’s why the impeached one is campaigning....if the slug shows up that is the kiss of death...
