Krauthammer points out that for Obama 2010 matters little and that Obama may well have an easier reelection strategy running against congressional Republicans.
If Republicans take control of the House, the MSM will be going all out 24/7/365 to demonize the Republican congressional leaders, just as they did to Gingrich in the 1990s.
As I mentioned in another post, I think Obama believes he can position his support even further to the left by flushing the remaining working-class white males out of the DemocRat party and then use a heavy-handed racial-division strategy with the help of the MSM to mobilize his base for reelection.
He may believe that, but I don't see how he could;
with NO white votes he can't be re-elected.
If the pubs take control of both houses, I would suggest that they just shut out the msm. They are going to just make up the stories anyway so why even deal with them.
“and then use a heavy-handed racial-division strategy with the help of the MSM to mobilize his base for reelection.”
obuma has no “base.” He has a loose coalition of rabid leftists at each other’s throats. The long knives are already out and the liberal streets are flowing with blood.
In all the special elections since 2008, the rats have won nothing of significance and are seeing their utopian dictates rolled back in state after state.
As for the MSM, it’s losing audience by the millions every year. The only people listening to and believing the MSM are the already brain-dead useful idiots. And there’s a limited number of useful idiots. Polls place the number of self-identified liberals (useful idiots) at about 20% of the population. That number has held steady for years.
Oh, the members of MSM believe everything the MSM writes because they mostly write only for each other. But you knew that already, yes?
