How bad is it for the Democrats?
So bad that they "began a strategy of triage on Monday to fortify candidates who they believe stand the best chance of survival," the New York Times reports today.
So bad that this is the second "triage" story to appear in the Times. We noted the first Sept. 7.
So bad that the Cook Political Report yesterday downgraded Rep. Barney Frank, the disheveled, fast-talking Democrat from Massachusetts, from "safe" to "likely" Democratic. Four other representatives were dealt the same indignity: Raul Grijalva (Ariz.), Jim Oberstar (Minn.), Ben Ray Lujan (N.M.) and Solomon Ortiz (Texas).
We noted yesterday that Frank, Grijalva and John Dingell (Mich.) may be in some danger. Cook still lists Dingell, who has been re-elected 27 times, as safe, so there's some good news for the donks.

What a delicious article. A pleasure from start to finish.
I just have a vision of Harry Reid, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and Barney Franke fighting tooth and Nail for the same water pill.
Now that is Health Care to believe in!
Some of the safest possible seats are within striking distance?
wow
Indeed. Another great article by Mr. Taranto!
“Death Panels for Democrats”
I vote, YES.
And then indict, convict and imprison him.
You’d better have your Glad bags ready, cause there is a lot of trash to take out! We’re going to drag this junk out to the street corner where it belongs!
I hope the left is scarred to death!
I hope these ruling elitists are worried!
Something tells me I’m going to be all smiles Nov 2 and 3 watching the angry, sneering media and the career politicians going in to mourning.
Amen (Catholic mass-like). ;-)
I think the results of these upcoming elections are going to be bigger than we are expecting them to be. We shall see in three weeks.
Something we agree on.............
Full speed ahead and then some!
That has got to be the headline of the year!
I didn't know right off....if he was a Dim or a Pubbie. I asked him...and he said "Will it make a difference?" I said yes. And preceded to tell him why....
He admitted to me..that he votes Pubbie quite a bit...and he felt he couldn't get elected here running as a Pubbie. I pointed out that he should run like he thinks...and not how he thinks he can "get elected".
I was nice...and so was he...but I think I made him think.
here in MN we’d love to see Oberstar aka “Jimmy Bikeshorts” leave.
he’s the king of pork in this state, mostly on bike trails.
I would wager that ALL of us here who post on this site agree on far more things than what we disagree on.
Probably correct................
If Barney Fag, I mean, Frank, loses, I’m going to...well, I don’t know what i’m going to do. But it’s going to involve celebrating!
