Prediction for 2012
Between the demographic trends favoring Hispanics and Millennials around the country, along with the fact that seniors will not be voting Republican now that eric cantor has formally announced the GOP wants to cut $1 Trillion from Medicare and Medicaid and finally the fact that no matter how much we may dislike certain Bush policies that Obama is continuing, given the lackluster Republican Presidential candidates for 2012, the only thing I see with the GOP is massive over...Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, the House of Representatives - the Republicans continue to think and believe that the 2010 election was a mandate and they are biting off their noses to spite their faces. I see gains for Democrats no matter how I look at things, whether the economy improves or not...

2. Hope and Change springs eternal.
Obama’s odds of reelection might conveniently be expressed as a mathematical function of unemployment rate and gasoline prices. This is a simple way to measure the “Misery Index”. If you have doubts that Hispanics, Millennials, and Seniors don’t feel pain at the pump, the grocery store checkout lane or in the unemployment line, you might ask them.

As for union busting in Wisconsin, it might be easier to ask what states are not currently legislating against collective bargaining rights for state employees? When Massachusetts starts union busting, who isn’t doing it?

Wisconsin Democrats and national unions threw everything they had at David Prosser, and he still won. The only votes his opponent received were from public service employee family members.
