Hmm, a lot of Dems are abandoning ship all the sudden.
Yeah, what's up with that?
While conventional wisdom says that “some” politicians whose party is in power will announce retirement, there seems to be ALOT of dems doing this now. From Connecticut to Michigan to Colorado to Hawaii to North Dakota; it seems there is a whole lot more than average. IMO, there is more to come. What do they see that we don’t? I bet their internal polls are at historic lows. How does this bode for upcoming congressional votes?
What message does this send to “blue dog” dems? Vote for us or less? Or else we will abandon you and leave you high and dry??
“…abandoning ship all the sudden.”
I have been expecting this for some time, they are attempting to get a threefer here, get these guys off the radar, slide in someone who does not have the baggage and prepare for political war, by having these guys working the political process from 2010 through 2013. Democrat and foreign handlers know exactly what is coming, so they need to be taken care of and using their remaining public maturity and profitability, slim as it is, to the best use.
I wonder if they are planning this...new faces harder for Repubs to beat.
Barney needs to go!
| Hmm, a lot of Dems are abandoning ship all the sudden. Yes, the incumbent Democrats that know they will be slaughtered in November are allowing themselves to instead be martyred by supporting Obama, while also letting the DNC pick their replacement. Watch for the DNC to financially-back local Democrat Congressional "moderate" (no such thing) candidates this spring for their parties. THAT is their plan to attempt to ride through the Conservative tsunami coming their way ... |
I’ve noticed that. It’s like they KNOW that what they have done is NOT well received and they are getting out on their own terms rather than suffer humiliating defeat.
Ping. I find the Dodd announcement interesting because I can’t figure out why he’s announcing it now. Thoughts anybody?
