It's starting to look like the Dems are snake-bit this election. Yesterday it was Montana, now it's Braley making one unforced error after another. And didn't Michelle Nunn's campaign get egg on it's face a few days ago? I didn't credit the talk about a "GOP wave" this year before now but I'm starting to re-think.

I think what you’re seeing is a bunch of Dem candidates struggling because Obama has had six years to implement their favored policies and the result has been abject failure across several fronts. As a result, they have nothing to advocate so the news revolves around their inevitable missteps.
Think about it. They won’t be seen with the President. They can’t talk about Iraq or Afghanistan. Russian reset...nope. Immigration looked good, until people realized their local schools were going to be inundated with young illegals this year. Obamacare...nope. Economy humming....hardly.
They’re screwed, and they know it. But they’re politicians and so they have to say something. But what? What can they advocate that Obama hasn’t already dynamited? When their best option is to rail against his policies (coal, Keystone pipeline, drone warfare) they’re toast.
