Keeps us from getting complacent. We need to treat Obama like he's a 20-point underdog all the way to Election Day, rather than assuming he's just fine. Want to know what happens if we don't? Ask Senator Martha Coakley.

I don't think there is a complacency problem this year. But there is the danger of a "our guy sucks because he didn't do everything promised and he might lose no matter what" problem that can serve as a self-fulfilling prophesy by being demoralizing.

It is so bad I think the GOP is taking a dive. They have no answer for anything. None. Repeal Obamacare and then what? Lower tax on the rich then what? Their candidates are awful. The way I see it vote Obama. He will keep the scheme afloat longer than the GOP could and even throw a few bones to the little guys.
