Analysts: White House Panicking Over Elections Say Dems Are Distancing Themselves From Obama, Angry Over Economy, Health Care Fallout

By Jimmy So

(CBS) With many polls indicating the Republicans may win back control of the House of Representatives (and possibly the Senate as well) in the upcoming mid-term elections, Jim VandeHei, the executive editor of Politico, told CBS' "Face the Nation" that the Obama administration is in a horrible position.

"Does the White House understand this?" asked guest host Harry Smith. "Do you feel any sense of panic or concern" on the part of the administration?

"They get it. There's panic. There's concern," VandeHei said. "The reality for this administration stinks, politically and practically, when it comes to the economy. You're not going to be able to change that 9.6-percent unemployment figure. You can't get anything from Congress in the next couple of months."

CBS Congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes said the Democrats are distancing themselves from President Obama.

"Not only are they running away from President Obama, they're running away from being Democrats in some cases. In some races you actually see the Democratic candidates not really mentioning that they're a Democrat in their campaign ads," Cordes said.

I hope that we conservatives have not peaked too early. It is nearly 2 months to the election and the enemy is cornered and ready to fight. We haven’t won yet..and if we do win will our ruling elite have the courage to dismantle a growing welfare state? This is just one upcoming battle in a civil war that will rage for the next generation..taking our country back one law at a time. One judge at a time. One agency at a time.

I don’t believe the WH is in panic.

A Republican Congress is the only chance BHO has to be reelected in 2012.

That’s why he is throwing every Dem overboard.

This is going to make 94 look like a cub scout fight over brownies from the girl scouts.

Cant wait, going to a party and both kids are staying up late and seeing history and missing school the next day.

Well, that’s certainly nothing new.

No kidding. It is a gift.
If we win the congress and senate they have two years to complain that we are to blame for all of their failures.

I doubt it. In fact, 0bama wants the dims to lose so that he will have someone to blame and run against in 2012 re Clinton 1994/96.
