It's only the media trying to turn this into a horse race when it isn't.

But some silly people fall for it.
You just have to hope that those sexists in Massachusetts will finally elect a woman to the US senate.

They are not happy that President Obama has failed to make enough progress.

So the President's statements lately have been (paraphrasing) "I understand people's frustrations - it takes a long time to make progress. It is taking longer than we thought to correct the terrible problems that were created by the Bush Administration."

Therefore, the moron who wrote the column twists his words into: Bush is to blame for Obama's low approval ratings.

It takes a really stupid person to fall for such "logic."
Maybe if you say "Derangement" three times in a row that will make it go away.

Polls taken every year show that the country is only about 20% liberal, the other 80% or so identifies themselves as moderates or conservative, so it looks like 0bama is holding onto the liberal voters and a few ignorant moderates who do not follow politics.

Really? I'm making things up? If it was only your opinion as you say, then why did you say this?

So were you simply interpreting his statements for him? ... that his plummeting approval ratings are only due to loss of base support? I would love to see some factual data to support your hypothesis that he is only losing support among liberals. Care to share?

Freaking classic.

I know quite a few conservatives that voted for him and quite a few democrats that voted for McCain. Half my family of republicans voted for Obama and now I get to say "I told you so." LOL

I think that enough people in Massachusetts are disappointed with the way things are going that they realize they still have a chance to turn things around and they'll vote to do that. Martha Coakley will be highly partisan and beholden to too many politicians to think of the people much. There are too many of those in Washington now who don't listen to us. Do we really need another one?

Thank you Thank you Thank you, you are so right, this is all about obama and his agenda, and seeing to it that it passes, regardless of how we the People feel aobut it. All about his agenda. I have realitives who live in Mass, they are not happy campers. The Demoquacks had an agenda from the day he got elected, and they are living up to the fact, that this is all about what they want, not what we need.
