Just how bad is the electoral environment for democrats?
-
One democrat says that he votes with Republicans most of the time.
-
One democrat has an ad showing a picture of him with George W. Bush.
-
Several democrats say that they won't vote for Pelosi as Speaker if his constituents will just (pretty please) vote for them.
-
One democrat says that he'll vote to reverse Obamacare if his constituents will just (pretty please) vote for him.
-
One democrat is even "joking" that there's nothing to worry about since Pelosi might die.
-
The very alive Pelosi refuses to debate her opponent. (She has better things to do that see how much she can increase her majority in her district.
-
Democrats are getting Republicans to endorse them in their ads.
-
Jerry Brown is running ads that say all new taxes must be voter-approved. (Notice he didn't say he wouldn't raise taxes. He's hoping that voters will be too stupid to know the difference. A safe bet in California.)
-
Even John Dingell of Michigan, the longest-serving member of Congress, has been reduced to pleading with his constituents to re-elect him.
-
Obama is playing the race card.
-
One 18-term democrat has only 1 donor in his district.
Meanwhile, the passers-out-of-campaign-money have performed a second round of triage, again withholding money from those considered "unsalvageable".
