Add up "Rast and Furious" with the Solyndra scandal. The result is Obama's a dead green turkey, IMHO.

"Fast and Furious" Corpses Pile Up

Michael Barone: Obama’s Solar Scandal (He’s tainted by the loan guarantees to Solyndra)

Nobel Laureate Resigns Over Global Warming Dogma

Some Democrats Are Balking at Obama’s Jobs Bill

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

>> How many Bob Turners are out there?

That depends on the number of available Scott Browns...

It’s good the seat changed hands, and no doubt the effect on policy will be worthwhile, but something short of seismic. Let’s not forget it was the misrepresentation of two upstate NY Republicans that facilitated the change in the regulation of marriage in NY; two backstabbing, Republican idiots that made objection to homosexual behavior a crime!

I know little about Turner, but what I know about NE Republicans isn’t much to speak of.

There are plenty of Republicans who run hard races and many put in the effort.
Do you mean Republicans who can win, those willing to make the commitment to run in multiple elections over many years, while building a community base? Because this is what is far too lacking here in NYC. We can get candidates to run once. But they they lose and they loose interest, their spouses get annoyed, or the County Committee sabotages them, having branded them a loser.

Republicans should run in every district, if only for the message. But the 50 districts which are D+5 or less Democrat leaning but held by Democrats are all worth seriously pursuing.

Excellent post and you are correct about campaign advertising and technical gimmicks like robo-calling. It is old time face to face contact and door to door canvassing that win elections. You must connect with the voter individually and that can only be done in person.

That’s why candidates with strong on the ground support will do well in 2012 - the Democrat’s Waterloo.
