The economy is kind of complicated and its effects aren't equally seen by all so it's easier to spin than a lot of issues. I have an uncomfortable feeling that things will happen that will be real hard to spin or coverup though. Those suspicions are tied into my views on the consequences of 0bamaCare.
Shamnesty is likely to be a third negative for Dems, IMO, behind 0bamaCare and gun control. If the GOP can't pick up seats right and left then they are done.
