So basically, this is the GOP's big "strategy" these days... that instead of offering a compelling "alternative", they're just hoping that enuff Obama supporters won't show up on election day (...LOL)?!
Well the Dems are sticking to "Bush did it". Is that any better ?

This country is so screwed no matter who wins.
Perhaps, and I agree that Obama could be a much better "communicator" (among other things). We could also argue about "policies" and the usual "liberal vs conservative" stuff, but unless you wanna write 'em all off as part of the "lib-rul media", the fact is that most economists still give him credit for averting another Great Depression (which is no small thing)! And he's (slowly) turned the unemployment numbers around from the freefall they were in when he took over. So those alone suggests he deserves seeing the job thru, vs the uncertainties of handing the tiller over to someone new, regardless their politics.
But to your point, my sense is that both of these guys are basically pragmatic "managers" (unlike the previous "Cowboy/Decider"), which is all well and good, except that the times (and the people) do seem to be calling for much more of that indefinable quality of "leadership".
It is only June.
Get real. Neither side is anywhere close to panic at this point. The Examiner is just trying to kerfufful an otherwise relatively uneventful news week. Just like the Republicans have Ron Paul to contend with, the Democrats have their dissenters as well.
Either by no means reflects the Big Middle, where all elections are decided. Long time voters on either side are no more likely to switch than in 2008, and there are no dramatic differences this time around. Expect to see more of this crap into October- if it counts at all, it won't be until then at the soonest.
If anybody's in panic mode, it's definitely the Democrats; when their mouthpieces including TWP and the NYT start turning on them, as folks such as Mayor Booker Mr. Clinton start speaking their minds as opposed to sticking to Obama's asinine message, then we all know that they're in deep trouble,a dn especially with this economy.
Funny coming from the side who's Party is so divided that the best they could come up with was Mittens, and let's not even mention the rest of the clown college they tried to trot out, one of whom, Paul still thinks he can steal the nomination. You might want to get your own house in order before criticing the "other" guys

Word has it there's sometimes 2 FISTS inside Mittens. LOL

Right-
Did you read the article? Jones says they need to organize the media, just like conservatives "have Fox"!
Being a lib must be like the special olympics of politics, in which they can only get things done if there is ZERO percent opposition. The libs control ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC, in addition to nearly every newspaper and magazine in America. Conservatives have essentially ONE media outlet and that is "threatening" to the left? Apparently the message of the left is so weak and disingenuous that it cannot tolerate any questioning. That is why the left fears ANY opposition media. Like a good fascist, they must have complete control and no dissention on the crap they are feeding the public.
It doesn't matter anyway. Obama is gone. Oddly, his departure will be good for the dems as well, as Obama has become an embarrassment that is difficult to defend and rationalize. Further, the economic situation of ALL AMERICANS will improve after Obama is gone, even benefitting liberals.
Like always, give me a break! As an Obama paid operative, you must present this junk, regardless of how silly it actually is. Show me a poll-
1. which samples over 5,000 people
2. which samples representative numbers of democrats and republicans for a region
3. which samples likely voters (of represenative percentages of each party)
4. which does not oversample democratic voters by 6-9%
Do you know how you and all these fake polls are going to look when Obama loses in a landslide? Of course, you will deny ever having said that Obama will win. Your "polls" would be like asking the population of Dearborn, Michigan whether they support Israel. Garbage in - garbage out
The Iowa State Fair samples voters for the presidential election. In sampling 50,000 voters, Romney had Obama 56% to 44% in a DEMOCRATIC STATE.
Bo is gone and everyone knows it- even the powers that be in the democratic party. Yet the far left "loyalists" still carry the water for Bo. It is a good thing that you are just farmed out by "moveon.org", otherwise you would be part of Obama's 8.3% unemployed soon.
