but in a just world that swing would be much bigger.

I read that cable news ratings (for all networks even CNN, sorry Erick) are down, and ratings for the big Net news shows are way down. I am just wondering if that might explain some of the stabliizing we are seeing in Dems slide, and also play role in higher health care numbers.

Tea Party in Memphis on July 4th (sorry for the shameless plug). I am going to try to have cards made with Cold Warriors The Precinct Project web address to hand out to people.

You know what the best part is….?
They cannot campaign on their own records.
For example. Can Harry Reid go to voters in Nevada crowing about how he pushed through the stimulus and Obamacare ?
To a majority of the public those are swear words.
His own son cannot even use his last name in a campaign ad.
Think about that for a moment.
Can you imagine the doom he felt when a focus group researcher told him that he absolutely must not use his own name because of his father.
Can you imagine the sort of conversations the two have…?

Hey son…

Hey Dad…

How’s your Campaign going son…? Hello

Good…good Dad.

I can come campaign with you if you want son.

(Long pause)
Aaahhh….that sounds really great and all but I aahh… think we’re good…

Hey I noticed you dropped our last name in your campaign ads.

(Ahem..clears throat)
Yeah…about that...aaahhh I just sort of thought Rory sounded good.
You know, short and sweet.

You sure…because I thought of a really great slogan for ya’
I feel the need for Reid…huh…huh…?
Kinda’ got that Top Gun thing going.
Whatcha’ think….?

(Nervous coughing)
Oh..aahhh.. sounds good Da… Da..Dad ?
Oh Dad geez ..I got a call on the other line I gotta go.

B..but ..but …Rory…I gotta’a lot of great …
(Click..) ideas…

The Democrats have basically spent the last year hiding and avoiding their own constituents.
They have insulted them.
They have lied to them.
They have show them their utter contempt for them.
This ain’t gonna’ blow over.
People are mad and they cannot wait to vote.

Four months is plenty of time for the Stupid Party to do something…well, stupid (like divide the party on repeal of PPACA).

This is going to be all about voter turnout. Certainly, everyone who voted for McCain (and everybody who stayed home to NOT vote for McCain) is a lock for “anti-incumbent fever”.

Bambi launched his GOTV campaign for the latino community today. His numbers have dwindled some among Hispanic voters since he forgot about immigration reform after the election. (Got stuck on something called health care reform.) He’s also using Kagan to shore up sagging numbers in the Jewish community. Apparently, it’s dawning on folks that he’s no friend of Isreal.

Bambi is entering the midterms in full campaign mode. Why, it’s almost like he never stopped. Very Clintonesque isn’t it?

He’s probably lost 80% of the swing vote, maybe more, and they can be fickle, those independents, which brings us back to my first point. Let’s hope we aren’t about to watch the republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory once again.

All in all, though, I feel good about the numbers these days.
