Too bad. I much prefer the arrogant, condescending C-D Democrats, who believe Obama is so far ahead that there's no reason to vote in November.
Looks like some Dems in Washington better polish off their resumes, assuming they even have any marketable skills.

I wonder also where the OP's source get's that idea.

Oh wait, he's quoting the right-wing site HotAir, which is appropriately named.

Republicans will rally around their candidate. They always do.

Two things about republicans that are helpful to presidential candidates is that they always rally around the nominee and they always forget how badly the nominees who actually became president sucked.

There have been a lot of high visibility democrat political pundits on Fox lately, and they're handing him his azz. Oh, sure, there are still the pete and repeaters who endlessly and mindlessly parrot how wonderful he is (much like the empty babblers here), but some usually very loyal dems seem to be turning. He has made some ugly mistakes lately.

Keep on going, Obammy. Keep lying and blaming someone else.

Silly, jug eared fool.

They'll get jobs on MSNBC, with the occasional one going to Fox to ensure Fox viewers will get their regular doses of comedic failure.

Florida's a red state?

RealClearPolitics - Election 2012 - Florida: Romney vs. Obama

Virginia polls are tightening.

Ditto for Ohio:

Romney DOES have an enthusiasm gap. Look at most of the posts from Republicans on here. Most have the "at least he's not Obama" attitude. That kind of attitude does not win you elections. Keep in mind, this is the GOP base talking, the politically casual crowd is not going to turn out for Romney if the base is not embracing him
I tend to think Romney can at least turn out the base. I also think that Republicans are less likely than Democrats to sit out elections (regardless of who the GOP nominates). However, I agree that the enthusiasm gap is going to kill Romney when it come to the politically casual crowd who need more "pop" in their candidates.

As Gomer Pile would say, "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise." I can't imagine that Fox would pick Democrats to be on the air who criticize Obama. That's shocking -- not.

FOX at least has a pretense of objectivity.

MSNBC doesn't even bother to have conservatives on. Rachel Madcow's show last night had 3 panelists: a consultant for the DNC, a union representative, and E.J. Dionne.

MSNBC's idea of "fair and balanced" is having E.J. Dionne as the most conservative panelist. Laughable.

This has nothing to do with Fox, it has to do with the Democrats talking about about it..
