They’re forgetting some basics.....including this one: People vote FOR something, not AGAINST something. Politics 101. If they believe that people will vote Dem by convincing them they are still against Bush and his policies.....they’re going to get their empty heads handed to them.
Can’t happen soon enough to suit me.
“Dems earned not a single thing from VA.”
Or NJ, Corzine ran at least one TV ad with “Corzine/Obama” signs prominently featured. (I know it makes no sense, but they did it). Obama came here several times, altho’ the last time he went to Newark and Camden, iirc, and if you have to do that it’s pretty sad. Yet, per the polls, and even gut feeling, it was too close to call on election day. General shock was the reaction when the election was called for Christie by 11 pm that night.
It was a rebuke, pure and simple. Obviously to Corzine, but certainly to the idea of Obama as an ace-in-the-hole also.
Of course, it appears that what put Christie over was his interview with Don Imus, where he cheerfully admitted to being fat and did a good job of portraying Corzine as feckless. I know it seems strange, but it really generated mucho buzz around here. You never know what is going to resonate with people. And I guess Imus still has some juice. Although I hate him for replacing Curtis & Kuby, possibly the greatest morning drive time radio show EVER.
