Thought of the Day
If Obama can rev up Democratic voters and win back some independents, and if his party can get everything right in terms of mechanics (fundraising, advertising, get-out-the-vote efforts, etc.), then perhaps with all these small changes the Democrats have a chance of protecting their House majority. Nevertheless, a poll here, a speech there only offers so much reassurance. Democrats should keep the panic button close by. It still might come in handy.
David Corn
Rev up the base? Win back some independents? Tall freakin' orders in the next 7 weeks. Mr. Corn clings for dear life to the recent Gallup poll finding the generic ballot tied. Never mind that the more reliable ones, regarding likely voters, have the Republican advantage at plus 12 and 13 respectively. Notice too all the caveats and wishful thinking. And then he ends with it may be as bad as every one believes. This is a Democratic true believer's pep talk.
I feel better already.
