#2 Media: Nothing to see here, move along.
At least this news really is dog bites man.

People should think and not just "feel" before voting. Based on the issues, Obama should be getting no more than 25% of the vote. Others are blinded by his shiny-newness, They are in thrall.

#3 But this is another clear indication that should the Dems take the presidency, have a strong majority in the House and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, they are going to over-reach. The DEms are controlled by the liberal wing of the party now. There are no, or extremely few, sane voices in the party today. They don't understand that the American people do not want socialism. But they will try anyway. And the people will react, as they should. More immediately, business will react. If you don't think that the collective voice of business in the country has clout, then wait and watch for what happens during the next two years.

#4 "They don't understand that the American people do not want socialism."

They don't care. They are our betters, and will have the POWER to do what they WILL. And the press will tell us it's raining.

#5 Is this like how everyone despises Congress, yet reelects his own Congress critters?

#6 Well, tw if they did, the Trunks would still control the House. However, enough of the population threw out the scoundrels the last go around so that the crooks would have less competition. The Trunks just lack the guts to play the game like the Donks, by making the population mad enough to actually pay attention every two years.

#7 Politicians don't let a pesky think like the will of the overwhelming majority of voter sway them. They don't get all those "contributions" to sit around and vote how the little people want.

#8 That's too bad, cause that's what Obama/Reid/Pelosi are going to give them.
