Edited on Thu Oct-14-10 10:31 PM by angee_is_mad
Another example of the enthusiasm gap and being exhausted for defending the POTUS:sarcasm:

1. Thanks, angee!
Holy Sh*t!

"Black voters are "strategically located" to impact as many as 20 House races, mostly in Southern states, explained David Bositis, a senior researcher at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, who has analyzed the black electorate for more than two decades. They also could sway more than a dozen Senate and governor's races, Bositis said."

I know I did my bit two weeks ago when I sent in my absentee ballot. :hi:

Thanks for the bit of positive news on minority supporters of the President.

2. Could be like 1986 and 1998
"Bositis said this election could echo midterm elections in 1986, when significant black turnout helped Democrats gain House seats and take control of the Senate, and again in 1998, when Democrats picked up governorships in Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia.

Both of those elections followed events that resonated with black voters: Jesse Jackson's historic presidential campaign in 1984 and the GOP effort in 1998 to impeach then-President Bill Clinton.

Back then, congressional Republicans "were attacking Bill Clinton just like they are attacking Obama right now," Bositis notes. "And Obama is more popular with African-Americans than Clinton was."]

7. I know. Me too.
:rofl: OMG, did you see him on Lawrence O'Donnell? He has a one track mind. DeMint is the cause of the whole recession was his answer to just about every but one question. It was like a mantra.

9. No!!!!
He did an interview? Or are you talking about his recent court appearance?

If it's the later .... seriously! He has these moments of Forest Gump-esque clarity! Imagine if ALL Dem challengers were constantly on message like that, "my opponent caused the recession! My opponent caused the recession!" lol

11. Oh, Yes he did! LOLOLOL...! It was not in court.
I couldn't express it better - it was Gumpian at its finest. All I know now is that DeMint caused the recession! :rofl:

Thanks angee_is_mad for showing they've given up that foolishness.
