One of those two times was 1976, when the donks managed a whopping 50.08%.

LOL. The stupid right-wingers beat the super-genius left-wingers once again.
If true, it ought to start showing in some of the state polls. NM moved today. Maybe some of the others soon. We are about 10 EVs away now.
“Their 50-state strategy is insanity,” said Schoen. “If they don’t use their financial advantage where they need it most,” he added, citing states from Ohio to Nevada, “and put every thing there and blow it out, they are at deep risk of losing.”
This guy is naive. He really believed Obama and the Chitown Crew meant it when they said they would play a 50 state strategy. This was a bald-faced ruse to allay the Dem establishment to turn over party coffers and controls and move them to Chicago.
In one month's time there will be emerging stories of Democrat office seekers complaining they are not getting fair shares of party funds for their own campaigns.
Not yet, I read that and the first thing that struck me was the “experts” lack of understanding of how important it is to be “real” and trustworthy, change change change is nice, but unless “us” in the hinterlands trust the guy, we won’t vote for him.
Add in Obama utterly failing the Commander in Chief roll, to me, he should fail in November simply due to that reason.
We have three wars going on, I’d rather not see a fuzzy cheeked neophyte anti war advocate running the effort and directing our Friends Sons and Daughters.
The last couple of days I’ve been getting the feeling that something is up. Biden is now talking about how Hillary is more qualified than he is to be the VP. Obama said something yesterday that was very strange, something that sounded like dropping out. They are all so nervous now, that they can not win this year.
“Joe Trippi, a consultant behind Howard Dean’s flash-in-the-pan presidential campaign in 2004 and John Edwards’s race in 2008, said the Obama campaign was slow to recognize how the selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate would change the dynamic of the race.”
There’s a guy who obviously gives stellar advice. Like Obama, a proven track record of success. Mr. Hindsight.
By Democrat standards, this guy could be the nominee for President in 2012.
Now those extensive ground operations in states where McCain leads by double digits are just money suckers into black holes.
America is not yet a liberal country.
The only other pick that would be worse than DiFi would be Boxer or Pelosi.
Just my two cents worth and I didn't mean to hijack the thread but thought it goes with the meltdown and all.
One of those two times was 1976, when the donks managed a whopping 50.08%.
>> A Democratic meltdown?
Framing (i.e. definition) is *everything*.
The key period was the conventions.
The Dimocraps framed poorly; the Republicans not only pulled off a stunning update of the parameters and message only three days before the convention, they framed themselves and their opposition very well during the convention. Dare I say “professionally”? And credibly.
There isn’t enough time before the election for the Dims to correct their failure and re-frame things; nor is there a key event to use as a pivot point.
It’ll be a close election but IMO the Donkos are already toast.
“Obama is struggling with working class whites just like John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Michael Dukakis did, and Walter Mondale. He’s struggling with voters in the border-state South. And he’s struggling with an enormous wind at his back, a hatred for George Bush and a mainstream media that is little short of a chorus for his campaign.”
Think that is Pat Caddell?
Whoever it is, they are right on the money. To win in November, Obambi needs to attract more blue collar whites than what he has now.
So far, his efforts in that regard have been horrible. Lets hope they remain that way.
Like they ever had a message at all, other than "change, change, change, hope, hope, hope, Bush's 3rd term, anyone who believes in limited government is a fascist, anybody who doesn't vote for Obama is a racist, sexist, homophobic, knuckledragging jingoist who wants to starve the poor, kill old people and destroy the earth."
What a bunch of gobbledygook.
“It’s a palpable frustration. Deep-seated unease in the sense that the message has gotten away from them.”
Carter Redeux. ‘Malaise.’ ROFLMAO!
Autumn Angst? It’s not autumn yet, politico nutbar.
This is more of a late summer psychotic break.
Bingo.
Along with "bitter" comments. He's been sliding and off his game ever since.
Hah. Change vs reform, that's a no-brainer. McCain should quote Trippi in an ad.
This is an excellent piece of writing by the libs.
