Obama Derangement Syndrome

Rule number one for a campaigning politician is to always make sure that you explicitly ask for someone's vote. It's not normally referred to as badgering. But that's how Jane Hamsher refers to it, and she gets to represent the "professional left" in The Hill newspaper. She even goes so far as to suggest that Obama and Biden never asked infrequent voters to go out to the polls and vote for them in 2008. She actually seems to be offering a conspiracy theory that the Obama administration is trying to play eleven-dimensional chess and hurt the Democrats' chances by asking Democrats to vote and by using a slogan that polling shows doesn't help. Apparently, defending their record is some nefarious plot to hand over Congress to Republican control. At some point people need to consider the possibility that Hamsher doesn't have the administration's best interests at heart.


Inspired by this:

'Professional left' says Obama's needling strategy to get voters out won't work
