i'm not saying they're right. i'm just saying it's a tough election when you're playing defense in that environment.
My optimism comes from looking at demographic changes in the US rapidly trending away from the Republican Party permanently, and the still-lingering effects of the Bush nightmare. People are not going to vote that right back into office. Not yet. And every GOP candidate is a clone of Bush financial actions.

The public "threw the bums out" in 2010 by voting in the Tea Party, and that resulted in the most historically do-nothing congress ever, with the lowest approval ratings ever. They do not blame the President for that. They see the reality. I think they'll throw alot of people out, but not blindly as they did in 2010.
