| [PJMedia] Here is the problem with the old-style Obama strategy of slicing and dicing the electorate into aggrieved minorities and then gluing them back together to achieve a 51% majority. On almost every issue in this election that they should be running on, they simply cannot. And on those that they are running on, they probably should not be. Let me explain. ...I am cautiously optimistic about Tuesday, even without a major Republican blowout. Of course, we should not assume that just because the race/class/gender wars of the Democrats are absurd that they will finally fail this time around. Who, after all, could be so confident in an America of 2014 that has been conditioned for six years to identify people by appearance and assumed identity rather than by their character and achievement? My point is, instead, that about half the country is tired of a failed foreign policy, a failed economic recovery, and a failed big and corrupt government. All the venom and the smears cannot hide that fact. The fed-up half is nearing 51% of the electorate. Democrats embraced the Obama-style community-organizing in hundreds of elections, given the failed substance of Obama himself — and yet still will not quite win lots of races. On Tuesday we shall see whether Americans would prefer to be poorer, fleeced, and less safe just as long as they are not smeared as racists, sexists, homophobes, greedy, and selfish. In politics, if you lose more races than you win, it doesn’t matter that you lost most of them by 51-49%. You are still a loser. IMO, the Obama regime operates on the principle "Votes don't count until they're counted." |

| #2 Why don’t Sens. Landrieu, Pryor, and Udall play up their support for the Obama economy? Because most people realize the socialists have created an economic house of cards? And because the employment figures coming out of Washington are phoney? Because most people sense that Washington has run out of other people's money? |

| #1 Though more than half the country thinks things are going badly, they almost always blame the other guy and re-elect their own. No reason to expect much difference this time. |
