Yes, There Will Be Blood in the 2014 Elections

A reckoning is coming, and this time not even the Republican Party establishment can save President Obama.
The American people are so collectively and colossally ticked off that this time not even the Keystone Cops, who run the alleged opposition party, can possibly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again. The American people are going to drag the Republican Party into the winner's circle, whether they like it or not.
Three news stories on Tuesday prove yet again just how much trouble the Democrats are in for this November's midterm elections.
A Republican lobbyist – that's right, a lobbyist – managed to upset Democrat Alex Sink in the special congressional election in Florida's 13^th district. This time the phony "war on women" meme couldn't save Sink from sinking. She got just 47% of the vote after getting a majority of it in this district in 2010 when she was the Democrat nominee for governor. What changed? Despite lower name I.D., being outspent, and being a dreaded lobbyist, her opponent made the election a referendum on Obamacare—and Obamacare lost.
Speaking of Obamacare, the newest numbers from the just-released NBC-Wall Street Journal Poll are brutal.
Only 35% of Americans approve of Obamacare. At this point prior to the 2010 midterms, which went dreadfully for Democrats, 37% of Americans said they thought the economy was getting better. Now just 26% of Americans feel that way. 65% of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction. 71% of Americans think government doesn't work. 57% of Americans believe we are in a recession. President Obama's job approval is just 41%, and he only has a 74% approval among Democrats. Throw in the fact the average loss of seats in the U.S. Senate for a re-elected president in his final midterm since WWII is five, and it should now be considered a disappointment if the GOP doesn't regain control of the House of Lords.
Finally, Obama's lost ground among young voters who swept him into office in 2008 is already well-documented. However, this story isn't likely to stop those defections. Turns out the labor force participation rate for workers in their 20s hit a 42-year low in 2013. Overall, young adult unemployment has increased by 20% since Obama took over. Over 10.5 million Americans between the ages of 20-29 were no longer in the labor force in 2013. The total labor participation rate for all demographics is the lowest it's been since 1978.
It's difficult to see what could substantially improve these trend lines for the Democrats over the course of the next 8 months, but I assume the Republican Party establishment will try and find out nonetheless.

Democrats Realize Lies, Distraction, Hiding Can’t Save Them From Obamacare In 2014

March 14, 2014 by Sam Rolley

Following a crushing loss in a Florida special election on Tuesday, Democrats facing elections in 2014 are trying to figure out if the defeat was a referendum on Obamacare. And unable to agree on a unified messaging plan, members of the party’s leadership are publicly doubling down on support for Obamacare, as vulnerable Democrats facing November elections duck for cover.
On Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) used her press briefing as an opportunity to make excuses for Republican David Jolly’s win over Democrat Alex Sink in Florida this week.
“The fact that it is an off-year election — in other words, a non-presidential year — and a special election is like a double-whammy in terms of reducing turnout,” she said.
In November, according to Pelosi, Democrats are counting on turnout from a broader swath of the American public who likely support Obamacare.
“We feel confident about the fuller participation in November, and what that will mean for that election,” she said.
While Pelosi told a reporter that Democrats should “absolutely not” shy away from conversations on Obamacare leading up to the elections, she said that the President’s healthcare law isn’t going to provide fodder for Republicans.
“I think the Republicans are wasting their time using that as their electoral issue, and they will find that out,” she said.
Pelosi said that Obamacare is a waste of time for the GOP because Americans will further embrace the law as they fully recognize the benefits.
Some observers, however, have noted that the Democrats are also testing a plan to take the focus off of Obamacare. By making public attempts to shift focus to tired memes like the GOP “war on women” and holding sideshow events like the phony climate change filibuster earlier this week in the Senate, some Democrats hope to bring out more pet issue voters for 2014.
Those who aren’t running distraction for the Democratic Party seem to be spending much of their time running from reporters.
In a POLITICO piece earlier this week, reporters revealed the lengths to which some Democrats are going to avoid Obamacare:

Vulnerable members of the president’s party appeared to run from questions about it Wednesday.
Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) — one of the Senate’s most vulnerable incumbents — twice waved off a reporter’s questions. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), who will likely face GOP Rep. Cory Gardner in November, said he would prefer to answer a reporter’s question by phone to offer a “coherent” response. But his aides did not later make him available for an interview.

Party leaders continue to advise Democratic candidates to go against their better judgment, saying that defending the President and running on Obamacare is a winning strategy. Meanwhile, even pundit Chris Mathews has lost the tingle in his leg.
“It’s going to be very hard to hold the Senate — I think the Senate goes,” he said on “Morning Joe” Thursday. “I think we heard from the Ghost of Christmas Future this week; they’re going to lose the Senate.”
