If it were just about incumbents then it would have been up and down then up and down down.
But all they got was down.
LOL! Great comeback!
I’ve noticed this “incumbents” spiel from Fox’s resident liberals, Juan Williams and Shepherd Smith, as well.
How much is wishful thinking and how much is intentional propaganda is hard to tell. That Howard Dean wasn’t willing to wager at such high odds as 4 to 1 makes the latter much more likely.
Personally, I can’t understand why anybody would vote for any Dim incumbent in November. They might be talked into a different Dim, but that would have to happen in the Primary. If their incumbent wins their Primary race, I can’t see them beating the GOP or Independent in the General election.
OOOOOH, killshot!! Well done, Karl!
The Dems may be the problem squared, but incumbent ‘pubbies are the problem, too. It’s not the Democratic or Republican parties, or incumbency itself that’s unpopular, it’s the big-government (and especially big-government-for-sale) philosophy that infests all three camps.
So yes, can them all.
excellent post, thanks!!!
W-R-O-N-G. Here's how the WH Dem strategy worked last Nov in solid Democrat-union-latino New Jersey....with a wealthy incumbent Dimo Governor who spent $185 million of his own money to buy elected offices.
OBAMA WAS DESPERATE FOR NJ's INCUMBENT GOV CORZINE TO WIN. HE KEPT CALLING CORZINE HIS "PARTNER." Ohaha was heavly invested in the NJ gubernatorial race. His carefully-laid plans----for installing a permanent Dem majority went haywire. Pulling out all the stops for NJ made Ohaha a VERY good target for voters disgusted with Ohaha’s policies.
The NY Times reported:
(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was screened by Obama's WH team.
(b) Corzine's aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obama’s pollsters took over for Corzine’s polling team,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions,
(e) White House operatives were orchestrating obscure pep rallies with Latinos (kept secret from voters),
(f) Ohaha campaigned in the state three times, Biden was there twice.
(g) Ohaha TV ads ran relentlessly in costly NY media markets.
(h) The crooked NJ Democrat Machine was also running at warp speed.
The New Jersey race was considered a "squeaker" that would go on till all hours. But two hours after the polls closed, the Repub was declared the winner with a comfortable 4-point margin (would have been higher were it not for Dem voter fraud).
Other pertinent facts:
>> Incumbent Dem Jon Corzine (the wealthy loser) outspent the Repub winner about 4-1.
>> New Jersey has a huge Democratic registration.
>> Corzine bragged he had 20,000 paid union helpers on the ground election day to get out the vote.
>> There was a third party candidate siphoning off Republican votes.
>> Corzine had the power of incumbency.
>> Corzine had the power of a crooked Democrat Machine cooking the vote.
>> Ohaha hid $17.5 BILLION stimlulus in New Jersey.....for Corzine's reelection campaign.
And still Corzine lost decisively.
>> White House operatives were orchestrating obscure pep rallies with Latinos (kept secret from voters).
>> Corzine had a "Peruvian Pac" endorsing him.
>> Corzine promised to give illegals driving credentials & in-state tuition.
>> Corzine sucked up bigtime and REFUSED to enforce current immigration laws.
>> Corzine formed a Blue Ribbon committee of latinos and other hypenates who were using tax dollars to mine votes for Corzine.
>> Also sucking up to illegals was Democrat US Sen Robert Menendez, a Spanish-speaking Corzine campaigner.
>> Corzine appointed latinos to the Supreme Court and other high-profile state jobs.
And still Corzine lost decisively.

NEW JERSEY IS "IDENTITY FRAUD CENTRAL" FOR LATINO IDENTITY THEFT
Two Texans busted in bogus ID operation in NJ NORTH BERGEN, NJ -- July 21, 2006 -- Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, authorities said. The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker.
The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the US, passports and resident alien cards, said state police. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution. The Drug Interdiction Task Force, regularly runs checks.
The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. Authorities approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately. The Texas brothers consented to a search.
Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs. All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street. Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 Social Security cards.
And still Corzine lost decisively.
============================================
The Republican Lieutenant Governor candidate (who won), was publicly lacerated by organized latino groups. A County Sheriff, she had applied for the federal 287(g) program, to question every inmate coming to the County jail about his/her immigration status, regardless of the offense for which they are incarcerated. The Sheriff had sought to ensure that "criminals" are not unduly released for fear of further harm to the community. The 287(g) program would provide the Sheriff with personnel and tools to punish individuals being held at the County jail (this was in contrast to the criteria set forth by candidate Corzine). illegals. Illegals lacerated the Sheriff for political pandering and for scouting incidents of indictable offenses such as driving under the influence by undocumented immigrants.
And still Corzine lost decisively.....conceding 2 hours after the polls closed.
THE UPSHOT According to Ohaha's slimy Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, Ohaha was "busy with other matters" election night and "wasn't really concerned" with election results...an indication the WH is sucking up valium and vodka in order to anesthetize themselves from the aftermath.....trying to convince themselves the election was not a referendum on Obama.
The tsunami is ahead---in 2010-12.
It is now about incumbents. It is about the economy. The economy will have been a mess for 2 years upon the next elections. The Democrats have the Executive and Legislative. The people will blame them for not fixing the economy.
The smart ones who pay attention will see Obama’s communist power grab and destruction of American values and vote against him.
The dumb, lazy and apathetic will vote in knee-jerk manner against the Democrats.
I don’t care. I just want to stop the communist onslaught. I don’t care how we achieve that result. We need to make Obama a lame duck before he can do much more damage.
I hate when Washington republicans suck up to democrat enemies and pal around and generally act like geek adolescents on their first date. I hate when Bush does it(either one) and I hate when Rove does it. I hate when Gingrich does it, or that dipshit from S Carolina. Why the GD hell don't they see the harm they do by giving these enemies of the people legitimacy?
