The White House is looking to push a storyline about the November elections - and for a job like that, there's nobody better suited than Obama water-carrier extraordinaire, Richard Wolffe:
Voters are lashing out at incumbents of both parties--which comes as a comfort to a White House braced for a Republican tidal wave this fall. And the president's political operatives aren't missing the chance to play up that message as they head into the biggest primaries of the midterm season thus far this Tuesday.... Inside the White House, Obama's advisers see a similar dynamic across the country.
"I think a lot of it is going to be hand-to-hand combat," said the senior Obama aide. "It's a weird environment. The real divide isn't between Republicans and Democrats. It's America and Washington. This is a continuation of the last election. But as the party in power, we are more vulnerable."
Dan Balz and Chris Cilizza equate the Specter/Obama debacle to Grayson/McConnell:
Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) could be the next incumbent to fall, but by late Tuesday night, everyone from President Obama to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) could feel the sting of voter anger that has shaped the election climate and that could produce a dramatic upheaval in Congress by November. Ok. So, the idea is that the public mood is anti-incumbent in general, which means we should expect lots of "hand-to-hand" combat between Democrat and Republican candidates as they try to position themselves as being the most anti-Washington.
No. This is totally wrong.
It is a false equivalency being pushed because Arlen Specter is probably going to lose today. If that happens, Snarlin' Arlen will make the fourth high-profile pol that Barack Obama embraced in friendship who was later rebuked by the voters of a blue or purple state.(continued)

Feces instead of gold? LOL
They are just trying to drum up fear over the possibilities of the pubs taking control of both houses. Which would pretty much make BO a lame duck.
Sounds like someone, at least in part, get's it. Obama and his people didn't start the fire...they thought they did, but they just rode into town on it. But fires are a pesky thing...they grow large, they aren't easy to control and they don't care who or what they burn.
Ok you Obamunists...you wanted a revolution...well, be ready to be on the receiving end in November.
Why I Voted Democrat
When someone can’t explain why they voted for Democrats, give them this list. They can then pick a reason. You may have to explain some of these to the mentally challenged
10. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas
at 15% isn’t.
9. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
8. I voted Democrat because Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
7. I voted Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
6. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don’t start driving a Prius.
5. I voted Democrat because I’m not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies through abortion so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
4. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.
3. I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the democrats see fit.
2. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
1. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view.
The one doesn't know anything, does he.
That is a good start on those crazies that vote Dem.
This guy gets it. Alot of the lame stream media sounds like Uncle Adolf did when he was in his bunker and hoping for imaginary divisions to come out of nowhere to win the war. I was in DC today and the mood of liberals is grim just like the Germans who were around Der Fuhrer who knew the war was lost.
This movie trailer is a perfect description of the truth:

Why I Voted for a Liberal DemoRAT
When someone can’t explain why they voted for Democrats, give them this list. They can then pick a reason. You may have to explain some of these to the mentally challenged. After all, Liberalism is a mental disorder.
