Nobody cares about earmarks now.

After last week, every Joe Schmoe knows that we are about about to create a $700,000,000,000 unsecured credit line to Wall St, and so the number like 10 or 20 bln in annual earmarks no longer sounds impressive.

This talking point must go, or at least be deemphasized.

Having the dims benefit from the financial mess they and their socialist policies created is akin to paying the fox who has cleaned out the henhouse to run a security detail to prevent further mayhem.

If the roots of this remain invisible it will lay at the door of the so called republican leadership that they have not the stones or the articulation to get the message out.

exactly, he should have attack the Dems as the cause of this mess and wonder why the people would put the same people in charge of the recovery that caused it. But thats not what the campaign did. Instead they let Reid and Pelosi paint him as an old has been annoyance that did more harm than good. No real retort no nothing to stop the tide. Wait until the polls come out early next week to see what i mean. Now don't get me wrong, things can change in a hurry but its not looking good at this point.
