Rallying for McAuliffe, Obama tears into tea party

President Barack Obama cast Republican Ken Cuccinelli on Sunday as part of an extreme tea party Republican faction that shut down the government, throwing the political weight of the White House behind Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the final days of a bitter race for governor.

National issues that have sorely divided Democrats and Republicans spilled into the race as Obama rallied for McAuliffe just outside Washington. As Obama tore into Cuccinelli as a compromise-averse ideologue, Cuccinelli was telling his supporters that Tuesday’s election will be a referendum on Obama’s unpopular health care law and McAuliffe’s support for it. …

Even before Obama spoke, Cuccinelli was working to use the campaign stop to energize his own backers, many of whom disapprove of the president and detest his health care law. Portraying McAuliffe as a Washington insider, Cuccinelli told voters in Weyers Cave that a vote for McAuliffe was a vote in support of Obama’s health care law. “No more Obamacare in Virginia. That’s the message we can send,” Cuccinelli said as he began a day that was taking him from airport to airport to rally supporters across the state.…

This will go down as the biggest campaign mistake since martha coakley brought Obama in to campaign for her just before she was drubbed by scott brown.

I think we’ve reached the tipping point with Ubama, where everybody now knows that whatever he says is the opposite of the truth.

Oh, I am soooo praying you are right!
Funny how a nonexistant tea party puts the fear of
God into communists.
Be afraid Obama, your day is done.
Tea Power, the power of the American people.

Cuccinelli is running an effective anti-Obamacare ad which ends with the assertion that McAuliffe was all for Obamacare and would even take it further while he, Cuccinelli led the fight against it.

Hope this taps into the anger people have about their insurance being cancelled and/or premiums raised.

It may be enough to peel votes away from Sarvis.

you can only hope that when they need to bring in a President with a -13 pt approval rating, that they are only trying to stir the Kool aid drinking base. there is no way that they are going to move moderates, and if they do....VA is a lost cause.

I like my America, I’m gonna keep it that way.

Hey Obama, we saw the Republicans come up with at
least three ways to compromise, you came up with 0.
that tells us all we needed to know.

I’ve been thinking about the tipping point and what the signs were to indicate it.

One of the first signs was the request by half dozen or more Rat Senators to delay the individual mandate (after destroying Cruz for requesting the same).

Secondly, we’ve seen several Rat Senators (Landrieu, Manchin, e.g.) requesting that insurers be permitted to grandfather more policies - even though these very Senators voted against a similar proposal by Mike Enzi-R in 2010.

Neither of these requests are serious - the Rats are just posturing.

There have been numerous trial balloons floated in the DBM to explain or excuse both the website catastrophe and Obama’s lies. None of them have gotten traction and are quickly lampooned.

What will be next?

My guess is that we will soon see Democrats who voted for the bill backtrack and claim that, if they had been told the truth by Obama, they would never have voted for the bill.

They’ll throw Obama under the bus to save themselves. It’s the only hope of survival for those running in red states and districts.

I don’t ever see the DBM divorcing themselves from Obama. They don’t have to face voters and their patrons are liberals.
