It is so bad for Dems, now the party leaders are tossing some of their fellow Democrats overboard.

Some Dems are learning it is not Republicans, or the Tea Party, that is the enemy. It was Obama all along




When you spot the word "triage" in a political news story, you know someone is in trouble.

Triage is the procedure by which medical personnel screening people injured in combat or disasters separate those who can be saved from those who can't. The first group is given immediate surgery in hopes of recovery. The second is given painkillers to make the end bearable.

So it was startling to read last weekend in The New York Times that House Democratic leaders "are preparing a brutal triage of their own members in hopes of saving enough seats to keep a slim grip on the majority."

House Democratic campaign chairman Chris Van Hollen quickly pooh-poohed the story, as any politically savvy person would. But I bet he's already done his triage and that some of the names mentioned in the Times story are to get painkillers only.

For in the last week the bad news has been flooding in on congressional Democrats. On the generic ballot question, the realclearpolitics.com average of recent polls showed that 49 percent said they would vote for the Republican candidate for the House and 41 percent said they would vote for the Democrat.

To put these results in perspective, consider that before last month Gallup had never shown Republicans leading by more than 6 percent since it began asking the question in 1942. Now they lead by as much as 13 percent in some polls

Did anyone see the interview John Stewart did with DNC Chair Kaine?

Gov. Kaine talks midterm elections with Jon Stewart....

Former Gov. Tim Kaine is the chief Democratic cheerleader and he sat down with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show to talk about the "underdog" status of Democrats heading into the midterm elections.
Kaine faces a Herculean task this November, protecting Democratic lawmakers from an expected wave of Republican challengers - and while Kaine never addresses the Virginia race like U.S. Rep. Glenn Nye's facing off against Republican Scott Rigell and Independent Kenny Golden.
But Kaine shows the difficulty of his task, because Stewart should be fairly friendly territory for Democrats. Kaine gives you an glimpse of what you'll hear on the campaign trail and he does an alright job making the case for Democrats.
But Stewart nails Kaine a couple of times, warning the head of the Democratic National Committee that he's in for a bad day come November 2. Stewart says that it appears that the Democratic party strategy is "They suck worse" - which isn't much of a campaign slogan. Kaine probably would have been best served to keep the keychain in his pocket.

Is is any wonder Dems are in for a severe ass whipping on November 2?
