I hear Dem's running for re-election in the midterm are thinking of running away from Obama

[bigdarryl]

there not going to ask and don't want him campaigning with them.DAMN!!!! talk about rats jumping the ship what a bunch of PUNKS if try.I heard Big Ed mention this

[Rosa Luxemburg]

1. they will lose then

[RC]

4. Not unless Obama changes directions.

Where is this change Obama was talking about when he was campaigning? It seems to have gone missing

[mikekohr]

7. I Agree! We should put the Republicans back in power that caused this mess

in the first place. That would give them the opportunity to be the heroes of their own self inflicted disaster.

10. their reply would be 'who me?'

[Vincardog]

2. They better run away from his corporatist policies if they want to stay in office

[w4rma]

3. Obama had better wise up and fire Rahm, Bernarke, Geithner, Summers and Duncan (nt)

[bigdarryl]

Your right this Rahm is a major ASSHOLE no wonder Hillary couldn't stand him in

her husbands Administration

[still_one]

5. They better run away from themselves, because they are the jerks who didn't do their job

They really think people are stupid

Obama still is fairly popular, Congress is NOT

[babylonsister]

6. Who did Ed hear it from? Did they use cans, like that game 'telephone'? nt

12. I have not heard anything about them running away from Obama.

However, Politics can be one cruel business.

It could be a situation this simple. Mark Shields and David Brook
PBS, do an analysis at end of J. Lehers' program each evening.

Last night it was something else. Each of them had spent the day
on the Hill. They were both there but not together. So the fact
that a Dem and a Repub came up with such a similar story is sobering.
Each of them reported that the Senate is in absolute Panic. A "I
could lose my job" pall hangs heavy through out. There is so mcuh
anger according to Shields: Usually, if one Senator is facing
a rough race coming up and there are others who are not, they
will pitch in some of their funds to give the one in trouble a
boost. Not today, it is every man for himself. Totally out of character.

This is just a thought. In such an angry environment people can
and do say things they later regret. Purely from a political
perspective. The Dems have now lost 3 races in a row. Obama
has gone to all of these races to try to bring them home. The
Media, at least some are seeing this as rebuff to Obama.
In a moment of anger, I can imagine some Senators saying something
like Obama cannot help us. That in turn being twisted to say
they are running away from Obama.

I wish the Senators would refuse to talk to Media get awy and
refresh their mins and think before they speak. Maybe I wish
for too much.

Someone said something. Perhaps we need to let the dust settle.

It appears Obama is starting to adjust and perhaps develop a
different strategy. In other words course, correct.

14. Thanks for your thoughtful analysis. So much doing what's

best for the greater good. Very disillusioning.

[elleng]

17. When do they figure they should run BACK to THEMSELVES,

to what they told their CONSTITUENTS?

[Bitwit1234]

8. BIG BIG MISTAKE they are letting the republican media

dictate to them. They are listening to the wrong people. If Gore had not run away from Clinton he might have had more votes and bush wouldn't have been able to steal the election.

[phleshdef]

9. Obama's approval rating is still higher than theirs is. They are the ones producing shitty bills.

[impik]

11. They should do it. This way they won't win and we won't have to see their faces ever again

Idiots.

[iceman66]

13. They will do so at their peril.

Obama is still the most popular politician in the country and Democrats running away from him would just embolden the Republicans.

If Congressional Dems had supported the President from the beginning and delivered a decent health care bill for him to sign, the would not be in this mess.

[fugop]

15. Proving once more how braindead they are

Obama is the one politician in DC right now with a fairly strong approval rating. If they run away from him, they do so at their own risk. Which is probably why they'll do it. Because, as they've shown over and over again this year, they're braindead morons when it comes to governing.

[Vicar In A Tutu]

16. A lot of Republicans did similarly to Reagan in '82.

Two years later and they'd have let him buy their children for a dollar.

[Aramchek]

18. your head must be as thick as Ed's

[FrenchieCat]

19. They will be calling on President GE Walmart in 2012, though.

[AspenRose]

20. Guess they didn't learn anything from the Deeds campaign
