this is so silly a thread
very small minded
to focus on divisions within the opposition when leadership has near super majorities and, hypothetically, can ACCOMPLISH real stuff, any scale, any time, all it requires is the WILL...
to focus on little smackfests within the minor party in so loaded a landscape is, well, it's very gossipy
and it's also wrong minded
look at the gub polls:
in PENNSYLVANIA, jim corbett leads a trio of dem opponents by TWENTY FOUR, TWENTY EIGHT and THIRTY TWO!
and THAT's the point---those aren't lipton lovers, those aren't rhino's
THIRTY TWO POINTS in the KEYSTONE STATE is, by definition, a VERY broad swathe of electorate---it's scott brown #41, mrs alaska and QUITE A LOT of others
hello
it's ANTI-OBAMA, is what it is
which is why this thread is so silly and small minded
OBAMA'S THE BIG FISH
look at polls for NEVADA gub---that's HARRY REID'S SON whose trailing some little red wannabe by FIFTEEN
ILLINOIS---now, what state this side of massachusetts and jersey could be a bigger STEAL for the party of RED than barack's own badass bailiwick
bill brady's gonna beat pat quinn, the prairie state democrat party has BIG troubles
so does colorado's
MICHIGAN---the saddest state in our union---republicans are leading in this reliably blue backwoods by SEVEN, NINE, THIRTEEN and THIRTEEN
WISCONSIN---home of the noble experiment, proudly progressive since the time of fighting bob lafollette---scott walker and mark neumann lead by SIXTEEN and FOURTEEN ahead of milwaukee mayor tom barrett
CALIFORNIA, my state---ms whitman is simply a fantastic candidate, the author of the OP will love her
moonbeam, on the other hand, is a universal embarrassment, the exactly WRONG chin stroker for serious times like these
FLORIDA---bill mccollum leads alex sink by FIFTEEN
mccollum is the nation's NUMBER ONE attorney general leading the coast-to-coast constitutional challenge against the individual mandate whammied on the young in obamacare
the challenge won't go anywhere, it's true, but the politics impel mccollum, his numbers shot up after he filed
(a lot like scott brown's did when he first declared he'd DON jersey #41)
tennessee governor phil bredesen, incumbent dem---he's the guy who's the nation's #1 spokesperson against this obamacare mandate on the STATES to pick up 200B of medicaid expansion UNFUNDED
"the mother of unfunded mandates," bredesen always called it
anyway, he's out and republicans are leading for nashville by between TEN to TWENTY points
look at the LOCATIONS, look at the MARGINS
look at the little spat in massachusetts---LOL!
good for mr brown---a pilgrim state republican has little business drinking tea
in public
the senate races are just as revealing of the UNITING force TODAY that is OPPOSITION TO OBAMA
the little DIVISION you need a microscope to discuss here on this thread WILL became pertinent WHEN opposition takes over
not until
opposition, to succeed when times are bad, really needs only point at leadership and say, "no," "something else," "change," "we will never do what they're doing..."
the platform is largely implicit in the opposition
