So they were also urging the importance of going after congress, but perhaps from a different angle by emphasizing what it is going to mean if we lose the presidential election and allow DNC to capture all three branches of government.
This line of attack would present an excellent and powerful new front to attack Obama/Biden, because linking Obama and Biden to the tax and spend, anti-war, anti-victory, anti-surge Democrat/Socialist Congress they actually represent and are proud members of would destroy all this foolishness about "change". Obama/Biden simply represent having a lot more of the same liberal mess, only tons more of it.
You mentioned unemployment. Predictably, after forcing small businesses to raise wages (minimum wage hike) jobs have been lost as companies cut hours and were forced to "do more with less" by reducing staff in order to remain competitive. We warned them, but they did it anyway.
It is "interesting" that the push for a minimum wage hike always seems to happen so that the results (lost jobs) hit home right around the time of a major election. Isn't it? Surely the Democrats are not so callous that they would purposely cause unemployment so they could blame it on the President and win an election, would they? Banish the thought! /sarcasm
note: three branches of government would be lost, because the SCOTUS would be filled with liberals afflicted with a habit of legislating from the bench, damage that would last for generations.
