The question and frustration of the OP is right on. Everyone should have been running with the president's record and supporting the president's actions with virulence. They should be on talk shows every day hammering home the facts of job gains, Dow records, low gas prices, economic growth, ending a decade of wars, healthcare improvements, everything.
Instead, they're treading lightly in order to capture that fickle middle.
Support these winning policies even if it means we lose up front. If we stay on these points with the same tenacity the republicans do, we'd be back in total power within the next 2 election cycles.
Instead, Dem candidates are spending all their time not pissing off the tea party.
