The Republicans' biggest problem is that they have finally been exposed for what they truly are. And, more importantly, more people are actually taking notice.
If they are stupid enough to pin their 2014 hopes to these "scandals" they will damage themselves for a generation. Folks are already inclined to consider them as out of touch and obstructionists when it comes to making progress in solving the nation's problems. As this summer and fall turn into winter and spring, if they are still babbling about the so-called Obama scandals, people who normally pay no attention to politics will turn on them in a big way.
All of that being said, it is, as Proud Liberal Dem says, all about turnout. If we as a party, and particularly the White House, learned our lessons by getting our butts kicked in 2010, we will be steering the election-year buzz and playing offense. In 2010, we sputtered and stammered and lost all control of the national dialogue months before Election Day.
Shame on us if we allow that to happen again.
