		<description>Michale -

Don&#039;t underestimate the shortness of the American attention span.  I couldn&#039;t tell you what Congress was doing this time last year, for instance, off the top of my head.

Elections largely hinge on the last three months of the campaign, and what is going on then.  Since we have no way to know what that will be, anything could happen.  That&#039;s the way I see it, at least.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I bet they dig in first thing, next year, personally. Dems know it the job numbers still suck, they&#039;re going to have a stiff headwind next year to beat.&lt;/I&gt;

You might be right.  But I just can&#039;t see how Dems can do it.

I mean look at it.

Chances are, DunselCare is going to extend into the new year.  That is, pretty much, a forgone conclusion. Then the House is going to have Scheme-n-Ream to deal with.  And on top of all THAT, Democrats are going to be campaigning their titties off, trying to hold onto their jobs.

It&#039;s a Perfect Storm of a Catch-22..
  
Dems will have to ignore their jobs in order to try and keep their jobs.  :D

Is this country great, or what!?  :D

The TNR article was annoying, because as I said, I largely agree with the slant of it (and your comment, M), but I was affronted by what was done to the numbers and graphs, personally.

		<description>As I mentioned in a previous commentary, barring a 9/11, a Katrina or intense combat action somewhere, the mid-term elections will be about one thing and one thing only.

J O B S

And, since Dems seem intent on ignoring jobs in favor of Bank Bailouts and DunselCare and Scheme-n-Ream, you can bet that we&#039;re gonna see the GOP sittin&#039; pretty after the mid-terms, despite their so-called &quot;irrelevancy&quot; or &quot;demise&quot;..  :D
