Wow, wish I had that confidence in our power and in our enemies weakness. Actions taken by Obama, with almost nary an organized opposition don’t give me much comfort.
“Actions taken by Obama, with almost nary an organized opposition don’t give me much comfort.”
Obama is a national politician with some connections to Illinois. He doesn’t have great power in any other state. Even Dems in those states are out for their own power and only have interest in national Dems to the degree they can enhance their local power, as in DNC funding support, for example. We have to evaluate this at the state level. One particular weakness of the Dems is their voter base is concentrated in urban centers, mostly on the coasts. Even in states like NY, they are a minority in much of the state and it isn’t odd that Dems haven’t controlled state legislators in some states you think are all-Dem.
