52. I have three main concerns...

Sun Apr 15, 2012, 05:50 PM

Apr 2012

Redistricting and voter suppression.

The push to get us involved in another conflict overseas before the election. John McCain on "Face the Nation"
this morning was arguing for just that in Syria. American's do not want to see us embroiled in another
conflict.

A manufactured scandal. I'm sorry but I find this Secret Service scandal in Columbia suspicious.

There's nothing I would put past the repubs to get the White House back. My instincts with voters
is that Obama has this but, by a very fragile margin. If the economy appears to strengthen that
margin will increase, voters will not want to shake the apple cart. Romney will continue to be
his own worst enemy and Democrats have to stop taking the bait like we did this week with
Rosen's comments. That was a CNN internal problem ( assuming you consider it a problem), not
a problem for the Democratic Party.
