In Alaska. I know she is a puke, but better than having Joe Miller in the Senate!

http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,2022434,00.html

ALSO, maybe even more importantly now that the President has been out there campaigning, PEW poll shows Obama is a better explainer of his policies than GOP leaders: 50%-28%!!!

I am sensing a HUGE turnaround in the numbers AND MOMENTUM in favor for the good guys!!!


FIRED UP!

1. "Obama is a better explainer of his policies than GOP leaders"
Republican policy = NO!

They can't even explain that - lol.

11. Not cannot, rather dare not.
But the electorate may figure it out, anyway, especially with Obama helping them.

4. I said this last night. The president is at least partly responsible for the...
improving poll numbers we're seeing across the board. When he can get out there, with the American people, without the media filter, he's the best spokesperson for his policies and aspirations. :kick:

5. As expected
Not one Dem I know believed this Nov was going to be as bad as the doom and gloomers were saying.

Thanks for some positive news.

7. We may be looking at a situation where the GOP peaked WAYYYYY TOO
Soon...And their stupid plague on America thing they rolled out last week FAILED, reminded people of their Agenda for America from 1990s...Plus, keep in mind: the GOP approval numbers are still way below the Democratic Party's numbers.

10. That's what I believe. In politics, one week, one month...it's an eternity.
Political outcomes are shaped by events. Those complaining about how the Democrats are out there explaining and campaigning. How do we know that for sure? How do we know that they are but the media won't cover their events?

Obama has done town hall meetings all over the country. His UN speech was amazing. Were these events covered?

Other Democrats have been out there spitting up a spleen. Have their message been covered? NO.

16. I was just phone-polled tonight here in South Dakota,
and it gave me great pleasure to explain, sometimes over and over again, that I was voting for the reelection of our Dem congresswoman against the clueless naive hypocritical dipshit teabagger Palin-wannabe opponent, as well as my disapproval of our repub senator Thune, my total disgust at his alleged presidential ambitions (they asked my opinion of the possibility of him running in '12), my approval of Obama and my desire to have Dems retain control. The woman seemed nonplussed, as if she just couldn't comprehend that I wasn't going to bow down to the Great Republicans of the State. The way the questions were loaded in their wording really pissed me off as well, since I have had social science training (sociology was my minor). Of course, I was gracious enough to share that as well. She couldn't wait to get me off the phone!
