“I swear these strategists and politicians live in a bubble.”

TracerTong replied on Dec 22, 2009 at 17:30:55

“They do. It's the "old media" bubble. You could call it the "CNN bubble". They are developing strategy based on what they see on CNN and not what is actually happening. That is why they are concerned about the deficit when most Americans are not. That is why they failed to begin a real employment program.

It feels like this administration thinks its '93 or '94. As though the internet and all the other developments of the past decade have not occurred.”

toggan replied on Dec 22, 2009 at 17:04:43

“Exactly. They will understand, unfortunately, when Democrats start losing seats during re-election.”

“I agree with this editorial in the most part except to where Taylor props up Hillary... Mrs Clinton has been taking a lot of $$$ from the insurance industry for the last 10-15 years... I wouldn't be surprised if she had "sat out" this debate like Obama has. And to you Obama lovers, when I say "sat out" I mean he didn't champion or provide real leadership on the parts of reform that matter the most.”

“Logic dictates that Obama and staff want Democrats to lose at the polls next year...”

JSW1948 replied on Dec 16, 2009 at 16:00:32

“I don't know if that is what they wanted but that is surely what they will get. The first time young voters, the returning voters to the polls, the repugs turned independent and many faithful Dems are outraged at how the power was given to the Blue Dogs and Senators Snowe and Lieberman. I've never felt to let down and frustrated in my life. This is the craziest scenario I can recall in over 50 years.”
