The depressed Democratic base needs to ask itself some questions: Do women want more representatives who oppose abortion? Do Hispanics want to see immigration reform postponed? Do young voters want college loans slashed? If they don’t, they’ll set aside whatever valid grievances they may have with Obama and mobilize.
If Democrats lose control anyway, maybe nothing too bad will happen. Obama will veto GOP bills, and politics will be paralyzed for two years as the parties jostle for 2012. But a right-wing Republican takeover of Congress and state capitals isn’t something to accept with indifference. Midterms matter, and voters tempted to skip this election should have their heads examined.

To me, what's more interesting is not the article itself, but the understanding of who the author is, and on what capacity he is related to Newsweek.
This is not news. This is DU talking points in print. It reads as if it were dictated by Obama word for word. Spewsweek fails.
And what his editorial positions have done to Newsweek...
I don't know...all sounds pretty good to me.
Note to all democrats: Newsweek says you’re ahead in the polls, relax, stay home.

They should also ask themselves the opposite, do Americans want to be over run by illegal immigrants who take our resources to have a decent life fot its citizens, do the voters want to pay for everyone elses needs for education etc..do Americans want to pay for abortions when they are morally opposed to it...then they should mobilize against th democratic party and vote conservative..it appears all the issues which are being used by the democraps are one which involve invasion , redistribution of resources to other countries, and out right over throw of the principles of a republic..obamma mamba jamma lenin khomeini and the bunch deserve the voter ass kickin they are about to get and may we never forget who they are..
The most surprising thing about this article is that people are still reading Newsweak. Everything thing else is par for the course.
Yeah, or who knows what might happen. We might have an economic recovery, shrinking government, lower taxes, lower unemployment, and more liberty. Can't have that! :-/

And the problem with a paralyzed fed is??? If a GOP Congress and a socialist hussein obama are fighting and thwarting each other, they won't be stomping on our liberties. Where's the problem with that? Sounds like a winning strategy: put hussein obama and his radical socialist agenda in a holding pattern until 2012 when we can replace the little fascist.
Newsweek was recently sold for one dollar. With Alter you are certainly getting your monies worth.
Do Hispanics want to see immigration reform postponed?
Guess what: many polls show that legal Hispanic citizens support SB1070 and oppose amnesty (i.e. "immigration reform"). Besides, Obama has had TWO YEARS & a Super Majority; he "postponed" it because he said a LOT of Immigration Reform B.S. just to fool Hispanics (legal & not) into voting for him. And Obama's idea of "reform" involves doing nothing about the border. He lets the illegals infest all communities by default and gimme-gimme-gimme-amnesty becomes inevitable.
Do young voters want college loans slashed?
Actually, I would think that young voters don't want to go to the Government Mafia (i.e. Student Loan Program) and be told that "someday, you will do us a favor in return."
NO bias here.
“Nothing to see here. Lettuce just moveon.org folks. Just moveon.org.”
(Yes, he is a “columnist” not a “reporter” - who is just as biased as their MSM’s ABCNNBCBS “reporters.”
I’m not sure I understand - is Newsweek trying to become *more* bankrupt? Is their goal to lower their corporate value below the $1 they’re presently worth?
Freaking Moron.
You're right. I thought they had gone under. Wasn't there a "national" news magazine that went under? Or was it bought for 1$ or some such? Well, a free market will eventually rid us of drivel like Newsweek - probably why they are afraid of free markets and the libs keep pushing idiocy like the fairness doctrine, or any of its follow on acts with Orwellian double-speak names that are anything but fair and balanced.

Newsweak could not sink any lower. They are openly calling for people to vote democrap, between the lies of course.

You know your ideology is in trouble when it is based on killing babies, breaking the law and debt.
