Al Hunt is saying that the loss of the Senate is a real possibility for the Democrats |
|
The Democrats have perhaps 2 months to get there act together, and since we lost Kennedy's seat I can tell you I am underwhelmed by Tim Kaine's performance
I have no doubt the the economy is a factor, but I also think it is also the Democrats who are running lack passion.
Having the HCR bill and the Financial reform bill written by the lobbyists will not help the Democrats in 2008, since neither bill have helped the economy or the job outlook

20. He's also hardly alone. |
|
A number of analysts have said that the chances of Republicans taking back the Senate have risen to somewhere in that 25%-33% range (largely depending on what you assume Lieberman and/or Nelson would do if things got close).

6. You left off the "stupid" |
|
As true now as it was then.
Unfortunately... it's far too late for the economy to turn around (noticeably) in time for the election. What can change is what we propose to do about it... and what other policies/programs might attract favorable attention.

going to end in 2012 because of some Mayan calendar thing. Is he any less valid than whoever this Al Hunt dude is?
