In a perfect world, Democrats would love to the 2014 midterm elections to be all about the economy.
But in 2014, the world has been far from perfect. And Democrats say it's hard to grab the public's attention and focus it on a slowly improving economy with crises popping up at home and abroad.
"August was Ebola. It was ISIS. It was Ukraine," Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told a small group of reporters Monday morning. "Global issues dominated. And in September, those issues continued to dominate. And so, part of the headwind was it did make it a little more difficult for us to break through on those middle-class economic contrasts when people were so focused on global issues."
Friday's jobs report was the latest promising signal that the economy is gaining momentum heading into the fall. President Barack Obama has also touted the slowly-but-surely improving US economy, most prominently during what the White House billed as a major economic address at Northwestern University last week....

I have an idea! How about they run on Obama being half black and John Kerry served in Vietnam? Hey, how many people knew that? That John Kerry served in Vietnam?
Damn, all of that effort spent cooking the books, and for nothing!
This is an indication of how toxic Obama has become -
The lib Dem Gov of CT, Malloy, (who is locked in a tight re-election race with RINO Foley) is shunning Obama on his trip to CT, wants nothing to do with him.
The economy?
Can you say: “Strike Three” ?
Remember: Unemployment is not our fault. It’s those darn ATMs putting all of those bank tellers out of work!
It’s news to me...
...OLD news - but news nonetheless.
The Republican National Senate Committee should offer to finance a President Obama Nationwide Goodwill Tour between now and November.
They’ll lie, say the economy’s doing well, the media will back them up,
and all the people on ‘assistance’ won’t know any different.
Good point.
They want to run on the economy?
What economy?
At this point neither D or R have a leg to stand on
I couldn’t believe obama got reelected. I still can’t. So, it would not surprise me if the Republicans lost every Senate race.
Hey, Steve! I got a message for you...ISIS and Ebola are going to continue to dominate until well after the election.
I was talking to my brother the other day and we always had this sneaking suspicion that Obama won reelection by massive voter fraud. We grew up in New York city and know a LOT of liberals, and even they had enough of him after one term, said they wouldn’t vote for him. That plus the fact that almost every newspaper website across the country had reader comments 90% against Obama. Yet he won anyway.
So we were thinking if Democrats hold the Senate it will sort of confirm that yes we do indeed have voter fraud. If they hold the Senate AND take the House, then it will absolutely confirm it. It’s impossible otherwise, this guy Obama is beyond the beyond in terms of a massive F up, this is life and death issues now with this guy, and although they may seem stupid, Democrats do not want to die. So if the Democrats take the Senate and House, then F that, we got massive voter fraud going on here and the entire population should take to the streets because that is a sure sign we are living under hardcore tyranny.
oh it is about the economy..
you get Ebola you cant work..
the ISIS behead you you cant work..
you cant work you cant pay taxes..
I would love to see Republicans take the senate at 50-49-1 and it is because McConnel lost.
Jeepers, Mr. wilson!
isis, according to the Democratic administration is NOT a threat.
ebola, according to the Democratic administration, is not a threat.
enterovirusD68, according to the Democratic administration, is not a threat.
illegal immigrants in the country and unchecked for illnesses, according to the Democratic administration, is not a threat.
Health insurance price rises, according to the Democratic administration, are not a threat.
Russian computer hackers attacking our financial infrastructure, according to the Democratic administration, are not a threat.
So, you see, according to the Democratic administration, everything is coming up roses!
ISIS & Ebola are not October squrriels!, they are opportunities.
And another thing ---- MSNBC should get the net & call the looney bin. Ebola fears aren't "racism" -- it's a freaking deadlydisease you morons. what the heck's wrong with you MSDNC knuckleheads, do you have a death wish or something.
