Downercrats Start to Worry That Obama is Blowing Another Election
You can always tell when Downercrats start to get nervous: when the polls start to show that they are losing the race. The poor souls in that rotten party are starting to believe that Obama is blowing another race for them, and are in a panic.
Hey - we warned them when they decided to turn to Barry "Empty Suit" Obama rather than Hillary Clinton, who would have been a most formidible candidate to contend with.
Autumn Angst: Dems fret about Obama
Yep, it IS happening again...just like 1980, 1988, 2000, and 2004.
In short, the Downies nominated a dud. Now they have to sink with him.

Autumn Angst: Dems fret about Obama
Polls showing John McCain tied or even ahead of Barack Obama are stirring angst and second-guessing among some of the Democratic Party’s most experienced operatives, who worry that Obama squandered opportunities over the summer and may still be underestimating his challenges this fall.
“It’s more than an increased anxiety,” said Doug Schoen, who worked as one of Bill Clinton’s lead pollsters during his 1996 reelection and has worked for both Democrats and independents in recent years. “It’s a palpable frustration. Deep-seated unease in the sense that the message has gotten away from them.”
Joe Trippi, a consultant behind Howard Dean’s flash-in-the-pan presidential campaign in 2004 and John Edwards’ race in 2008, said the Obama campaign was slow to recognize how the selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate would change the dynamic of the race.
“They were set up to run ‘experience versus change,’ what they had run [against Hillary] Clinton,” Trippi said. “And I think Palin clearly moved that to be change or reform, versus change. They are adjusting to that and that threw them off balance a little bit.”
A major Democratic fundraiser described it a good bit more starkly after digesting the polls of recent days: “I’m so depressed. It’s happening again. It’s a nightmare.”
Yep, it IS happening again...just like 1980, 1988, 2000, and 2004.
