If you listen to the liberal media, Obama and Dems jave acomplished historical achievements
Obama tells us every chance he gets how things are getting better
Yet Dems on the campaign trail and avoiding the voters
Try to find Rep. Steve Driehaus.
There are no public meet-and-greets listed on the Ohio freshman's campaign Website — even though he signed a welcome note on his home page claiming it is the place to "find out about upcoming events."
Ditto for Virginia Rep. Glenn Nye, who has a tool that lets users enter their zip code to get listings of events near their homes. Entering the zip code for Nye’s campaign office yields nothing within 50 miles.
Driehaus and Nye, both Democrats, are in two of the most hotly contested House races in the country.
But a year after tea party protesters disrupted their town hall meetings — and with control of the House hanging in the balance — many politically vulnerable House Democrats now appear reluctant to telegraph where and when they will appear in open forums.
This dynamic illustrates the clear enthusiasm gap between Republicans and Democrats, with public polls and anecdotal evidence showing the GOP is fired up for the mid-term election and Democratic voters are not.
"Everyone's nightmare is you have an event and there are more of the other people there than your people," said the chief of staff to one politically vulnerable House Democrat.
