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.

They could declare a national emergency and impose martial law!

That is what the DUmmies kept posting when W was President. Conservatives should leave the 'Chicken Little Sky is falling' scene to the liberals. Chicken Little was a loser. Conservatives need to spend their time working with energy and good cheer.

It is good they have a plan. Hopefully we do too. I could care less that they have a plan. It would be stupid for them not to have a plan. Just as long as the Republicans have a better plan.

This could make some sense to focus on the “local” aspects - except for the fact that the entire country is in a shambles DUE TO THE MARXISTS POLICIES THAT THE DEMS HAVE PUT IN PLACE IN DC.

Its kid-of difficult to run on a more “local rights and issues” platform when your entire agenda has been executed around a Statists Dream Utopia.

“...analysis from Newsweek magazine’s Andrew Romano...”

If Newsweek has such smart analysts how come they can't figure out how to make money?

Hey, if I'm out of work and no hope in sight to get a job, I don't care how many friggin' e-mails I get from the top Dems at the DNCC; I'm either staying home or voting against whomever is in office. They can print out their e-mail and stuff it where the sun doesn't shine.

With so many unemployed they will play on peoples fear. Fear of the cutting off of unemployment benefits.
The Election is still 18 weeks away. Their Unemployment Benefits will have already expired by then.

That's really funny. Bread, butter and jobs. Like that's their strong point or something.

And how are you going to “create” those jobs? There is NO MORE MONEY! The people are starting to see through the ruse and they are beginning to rebel. Wait until you see what happens in New York this week. It is going to be very, VERY ugly....The Gravy Train has derailed.

They're dreaming.
1) A jobs pitch highlights their failure and requires voters to believe the administration that has failed at everything will suddenly get it right.
2) We hear of lots of young voters realizing their future is at stake, so many of those "historic" Obie fans are no longer motivated or switched sides.
3)The gulf oil blame is shifting more to Obama and his inaction, as much as it was to BP initially. Attempts to paint US capitalism won't work with BP. BP isn't on the ballot.
4)The financial outlook will only worsen in coming months.
5)As will anger re: a NY trial for the Sheik.
6)Taxes will be increasing.
7)Doctors leaving, hospitals closing, insurance plans cancelled will continue up to election day. Big government isn't working in the gulf, and more will realize it won't work with health care, where it really has in impact on our lives.

I could go on, but virtually everything Obama does is a failure and repulsive to a growing majority of Americans. They're still screwed. And it worsens every day. We all know it's difficult to maintain a level of rage for too long, while trying to live a life and do a job. We'll crank it up again in the fall. We're just sitting back taking names....and notes. We can see Nov. 2 from here and it still looks good.

In fact, given that Obie is far and away the most anti-American president we've ever had, or could imagine, I think the huge Republican gains predicted will be larger than everyone thought. We'll defund all the crap, repeal it when Obie's gone.

True, but when the NYS Government collapses this week, no amount of hand wringing or pork pulling will keep the facts from revealing their hideous being, that we are bankrupt in every level of life, due to corruption, greed and socialism.

That’s been my feelings as well.

Honestly, this election could be a double-edged sword. If republicans win, Obama has his scapegoat for 2012. If democrats win, one, we should be scared as this can only mean dirty tricks were used (there’s no honest way they can gain seats after what’s happened), and two, they’ll see it as a blank check and will probably go full steam ahead.

“There isn’t any money IN the Treasury! THERE ISN’T ANY MONEY!”

Short of prayer to Almighty God, THAT may be the only way out of this downward spiral toward Communism: a complete economic meltdown with the requisite ending of entitlements.

We aren’t just talking welfare queens either. Most of academia, firefighters and other government workers, unions and the like need a complete overhaul.
