Thank God for Doctor Krauthammer.
You can spin this every which way. And…it will be over-spun because it’s all we have. So we’re going to have to go with it.
But I look at it a little more simply. I’m no Richard Feynman, but I can do elementary arithmetic. Five months ago the Democrats won this seat with 62 percent. Last night it was a split 50-50. That’s a 12 percent drop in less than half a year.
And I think it’s explained by the fact, among other things, that the magical mystery tour of Obama is over, and that charismatic era is done.
And that, in the end is what’s going on here. In just that short space of time, the Democrats have lost 12% in their own district. Apparently, part of the message here… and it’s one you’ll note the press ignoring… is that coat tails work in both directions. If things are this bad only two months out, what we going to see two YEARS out, at the mid-terms?
