WASHINGTON (AFP) – Vice President Joe Biden brushed aside suggestions on Sunday that Democrats will suffer big losses in November midterm elections, vowing that Barack Obama's governing party will "shock the heck out of everybody."
Speaking on the ABC News program "This Week," Biden dismissed prevailing wisdom that Democrats, 17 months into Obama's transformative residency in the White House, would suffer a drubbing at the hands of salivating Republicans.
"I don't think the losses are going to be bad at all," Biden said. "I think we're going to shock the heck out of everybody."
Biden said he was "confident when people take a look at what has happened since we've taken office in November and comparing it to the alternative, we're going to be in great shape."
The vice president said he believes the Obama administration will get credit from voters for helping guide the economy out of recession and passing key legislation on health care and financial reform.
"It's just going to take time," Biden said.
"The election is not until November. And I think we're going to have to firmly make our case."
Obama has launched into campaign mode in recent weeks, hoping to transform the spectacular grassroots support from Democrats and independent voters which propelled him to the presidency in 2008 into a full-bodied platform for his party in the upcoming congressional races.

in Biden’s case, the “D” stands for dope..
How so? By arming The New Black Panties....errr, Panthers....with the latest Tasers?
Exactly. We won’t be having free and fair elections.
Thanks for the ping!
A bit reminiscent of Karl Rove back in 2006...
WHAT? Launched? Thats all Obama does is campaign.His campaign for the 2008 election merely changed its name and kept righton going. Its a nationalist socialist technique to rouse the faithful to action. ACTION!
America is tired of the Obama "campaign." The Dems are about to have their a$$es handed to them.
Shock and awe...LOL!
Whistling past the graveyard, Joe.
“Huh? Don’t look now , but the independents are gone, man.”
Spoken to any independents lately? They declare their status as independents and then go on to parrot the Democrat party line.
They use the same tactics as leftist Democrats as they denigrate anyone who doesn’t believe in the “compassionate” policies they embrace while they take on an aura of the “brilliant intellectual”. (Just like Democrats.)
The only difference between Democrats and Independents is that Independents say they aren’t Democrats while they couldn’t be mistaken for anything else.
Combine the “brilliance” of Independents and the study of voting machine repair by Democrats and the recipe for success in the midterm elections comes into focus.
IMHO
The ‘rats “shock” the heck out of decent intelligent patriotic people every day -— and these shocks are never good for America!!!!

There is no “recovery Summer”
Ya think? ;-)
Nah.
Massive voter fraud in the cities is already passe - its done every election and its already factored in.
What O needs are the “independents” (whatever they are) & the middle class white vote.
And he isnt going to get either one, period.
There will be gains if the right continues to be motivated to get out and vote
LOL good one. - although Im sure they will portray it as such even though that rhetoric has grown as thin as a Baltimore pimp’s patent leather shoes. :)
Making non-leftists work even harder, for even bigger political victories on November 2 and beyond, is a very good thing!
