Top Democrats head for the exits

The grim outlook for Democrats in the 2010 midterm elections just got a little worse.

Four top Democrats—including veteran Sens. Chris Dodd and Byron Dorgan—all prepared to pull the plug on their campaigns in a 24-hour period that began Tuesday, and in the process, offered an unnerving glimpse at the perilous election year ahead.

With Dorgan’s stunning retirement announcement Tuesday evening, Democrats are now facing their bleakest election outlook in years—and the very real possibility the party will lose its 60-40 Senate supermajority after the November elections. On the House side, the prospect of heavy 20-30 seat losses is already looking increasingly likely.

This maybe one reason why they're packing it in.

It is amazing to me that all of this is happening after this video.

I know it probably doesnt have a thing to do with it.

But I believe a professional did the video. It looks like a movie trailer. I wonder if it was backed by some Hollywood elite. It reads like it is from a Democrat.

Or it could be- just a grassroots fed up guy who knows to use software.

They forced an unconstitutional bill down our throats and now they are on the run. This bill must be stopped.

Michigan’s Lt. Gov Cherry announced today his will not run for governor. Gov. Jennifer Granholm and the democrat have destroyed Michigan’s economy.

Don’t tell Steele. He says it can not be done.

That, along with the census will result in massive re-districting and a plethora of “new” CDs that will assure Rat domination of the House in perpetuity.

I would love to see the internal DNC polling data, you know it must bad, really bad. These guys have egos that are unreal and would do anything to stay in office.

As far as I can tell ...Hillbuzz was the first with that video. If so, maybe a Hillary backer is behind it.

Something is going on for these people to be bailing all of sudden.

The fight is on. Steele needs to go so we can get someone in there that will take no prisoners and take these Socialists down.

But this means that they would rather give up their seats than listen to the people. They can vote for anything now that they aren’t running for office again. They can ignore their constituents. They can make deals.

I am kind of wondering if the Dems are doing this strategically and paying these guys when they leave office $$$?

I think this is why they have been getting all over Rasmussen because their internal polls look just like this or even worse.

. . . very real possibility the party will lose its 60-40 Senate supermajority . . .

There are also very real plans and actions to assure this will happen.

Interesting video.

I also find it interesting that all these retirements that hold huge potential to sweep away their majority?

It doesn't smell right to me. It doesn't feel right.

Others have posted links to the Universal Voter thing, but this feels like they don't think they will need even that by November.

I'd like to celebrate like others on FR, but this just doesn't feel right. Something very, very bad is being orchestrated. There won't be elections.

Yeah and I am the one that thought 0bama was a fascist a year before the election. Laughed then, not so funny now!
