If Obama can't mention the GOP war on Obama, those campaigning for seats in the Legislature sure can

THe New York Times indicates there are 7 'toss-up' seats in the Senate which could go either way in November. Battle for the Senate: Missouri, Montana, Virginia, Wisconsin, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada.

If Obama can't bring up the fact that the Republicans have been fililbustering and fighting and sabotaging his efforts to produce an economic recovery to their Trickle Down disaster - (the Republicans would jump all over him and say "AW, you're making excuses!!&quot ... there's nothing stopping those campaigning for Senate and House seats from making the point to the voters..."If you want us to get ANYTHING done in D.C. kick the Republicans out."

There's nothing stopping them from talking about how the Repubs have fought Obama and the Dems from trying to effect a recovery to the Trickle Down Disaster (see "Don't Ask what Good We Do" ). This would at least force the Corporate Media to cover at least some of this as it would be part of the cases being made by those campainging for seats in the Senate and the House.

Email and call your Representatives and Senators who are up for re-election if you think this is a worthwhile approach to getting the GOP insurgency becoming a topic of conversation.
