Democrat Party Seems Divided

[RecycleMichael]

Why are republicans for every post in America (Senate, House, Governor, City Council) running against Obama?

It is because they have no ideas.

Same reason Democrats are running away from Obama.

It's human nature to flee disaster.

I believe there are two political entities, Obama the person and President of the USA and there is Obama the political philosophy.

Draw your own conclusions.

Sounds like everyone has the same idea. Run against Obama. Nothing else matters.

You forgot the cult of personality.  I'd be impressed if he actually had a personality.

It's as if Max Headroom were president.

Really bad way to enter the midterms:

Barack Obama and his political party are heading into the midterm elections in trouble. The president's 40 percent job approval rating in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll is the lowest of his career – and the Democratic Party's popularity is its weakest in polling back 30 years, with more than half of Americans seeing the party unfavorably for the first time.

The Republican Party is even more unpopular. But benefitting from their supporters' greater likelihood of voting, GOP candidates nonetheless hold a 50-43 percent lead among likely voters for U.S. House seats in the Nov. 4 election.

Here's how Nate Silver scores it at the moment:

I'd love nothing more than to see Harry Reid ousted as the Senate Majority Leader, but I'm not sure Mitch McConnell would be a much better replacement.

And a good blog post from Silver regarding poll bias:

Dude is a true numbers geek.  He'd be a great wing man to have at a casino.

They both suck.

[RecycleMichael]

They both suck.

100% agree.

They are ineffective leaders, refuse to work with the other side of the aisle, terrible spokespeople, and involved in very shady dealings in their home state.

Obama is irrelevant, according to a democrat? 

Unlike some Democratic Senate candidates, incumbent Mark Begich of Alaska is willing to say he voted for President Obama.

But he's also found a way to distance himself from the president, who is unpopular in reddish Alaska.

"I did (vote for him), but that's irrelevant," Begich told the Washington Examiner. "The president's not relevant. He's gone in two years."

Great, maybe decisions will be made that have nothing to do with "I'm votin' agin' that Moose-lim in the white house."

[guido911]

The poodle is cringe-worthy. Brutal she cannot explain that "Moose-lim in the white house" and competitive senate races

Welp, it's Corey Booker's turn. I suppose that since he has been subpoenaed, he is assumed guilty of something. I post this here because I thought there was talk of him as a VP candidate somewhere in this forum.
