Democrats Have Secret Plan for November
Newsmax ^ | June 13th, 2010

Posted on 06/13/2010 10:47:18 AM PDT by shield

Political analysts are predicting a huge win for Republicans in November's congressional elections, but some Democrats believe they have a secret plan to stave off a crushing Republican landslide.

That’s the analysis from Newsweek magazine’s Andrew Romano, who writes that “the Democrats in charge are actually rather confident about getting their fellow Dems elected this year. The reason? They have a plan — a plan that they believe will produce much better results on Election Day than anyone expects.”

The first element of that plan is the return of Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe, who left politics after Obama’s election win. At the president’s request, he is now communicating on a regular basis with the Democratic National Committee on campaign strategy.

Plouffe’s top priority is to get many of the 15 million people who voted for the first time in 2008, and largely supported Obama, back to the polls this year. His main weapon is the 13-million-name e-mail list from the Obama campaign now available to the DNC.

The focus on individual elections for Democrats will be “keep it local,” according to Romano. “While Republicans hammer away at national themes targeted at right-wing activists, Democrats plan to focus on bread-and-butter regional concerns like jobs.”

Democrats also believe that the emergence of tea party challengers in GOP primaries will help their candidates attract moderate voters. A tea party candidate who wins the primary will drive moderates toward the Democrat in the general election, the thinking goes, and a tea partyer who loses will likely have forced the winning Republican to move further to the right and possibly alienate moderate voters.

Sorry, but cheating does not count as “a secret plan.”

It will probably backfire. Where are the jobs, NOW? That will be the question.

What do Democrats use for water? We need to see how we can get some of it. Sounds like good stuff, they bring it in from Mexico.

That's kind of a contradiction in terms. Most of the 15 million new voters who voted for 'The Won' couldn't care less about jobs.

Or in other words, it’ll be one big exercise in self-delusion. Remember that Rahm, Nanny, and Dingy promised their wobbly members that their poll number would rise once Obamacare was passed. Well, all they’ve seen so far is a dead cat bounce.

“While Republicans hammer away at national themes targeted at right-wing activists, Democrats plan to focus on bread-and-butter regional concerns like jobs.”

So it's the strategy of both the Republicans and the Democrats to hammer away at the Democrats' weaknesses.

That should work very well!

“Bread and butter” issues like:

Racism.

Class warfare.

Entitlements.

I bet my bottom dollar most of these 1st time voters just wanted "to make history" electing the 1st "black" Potus.

They couldn't be bothered voting in any other election, including previous Presidential one's.....let alone for these elections......(probably with all the annoying commercials that disrupt their tv time).

Good luck poofer!!

I get emails from the RNC and several PAC's. They all go right where I want them...unopened and into my spam folder. I suspect that many (most) people, liberal or conservative, do the same thing.

It’s money, so dig deep, to defeat the most leftist presidency in history. Before they destroy everything, the nation is going off the rails.

BTW - can we mention now the Reszko, the slumlord convicted felon bought Obama a house?
