1. So says PPP poll which shows President Obama very unpopular in district |
|
but I agree the Dems nominated a very poor candidate who has done a lousy job. Reminds me of the special election in MA for Kennedy's seat. We just got to start taking every election seriously and not thinking, 'Oh, it's a strong democratic district (or state) and it will be ok.'

3. I'm sorry, but after the 2008-2010 Congressional session, there *AREN'T* any "Strong Democratic... |

Came in the run-up to a 65-seat pasting, didn't they?
That should suggest none of this really matters.
I remember when Harris Wofford's surprise win in the PA Senate special election to replace John Heinz (R-PA) after his death in a helicopter crash indicated that the liberal tide was turning, and that health care reform was just around the corner -- it was the central theme in Wofford's campaign.
He got buried two years later -- by Rick Santorum -- and HCR died a-borning. We waited 17 more years for the ACA.
Everything in politics is over-determined. There are far more potential causes than there are plausible effects.
