Democrats have a serious choice to make.  Will they simply cut Obama off from them much like they did to Carter in 1978 and blur the differences between themselves and Republican on most issues, or will they tie themselves to him, hoping that he recovers? 

Roll Eyes

It's still three years to re-election. We don't have to start sweating until after Midterm elections. What approval ratings are this early in a presidential term is quite irrelevant on election day. In September 2001 Bush had 90 % approval, yet he didn't win a landslide re-election.

So yeah, we're tying ourselves to him hoping he recovers. Not a serious or tough choice at all.

The midterm elections are what I am talking about.  If Democrats lose the House in 2010, Obama is basically a dead duck.  He will probably get reelected, but he will run so far to the right that it wont matter. 

Oh well then I understand.

I however strongly doubt that the Democrats will loose the house. The Republicans will probably make gains (relativly big gains if  Obama is unpoular in 2010) but not enough to conquer congress agian. The Republicans approval ratings are not raising when Obama's falls after all.

Obama's approval right now is around 50 % !!!!

Oh my start to panic! That's about the approval numbers Reagan, Clinton, and Nixon had in September their first year in office. Clearly Obama doesn't have a shot at being re-elected. Roll Eyes

Oh and asuming he's going to win no matter what is equally stupid. And you can't discredit a poll just cause it doesn't agree with you. If that New Jersey poll had shown big approval for him, I'm sure it would have counted.

Its okay to criticize the pres, America.

But wait, I thought conservatives taught us it was unpatriotic to do so?

Please, Joe, it's only unpatriotic if the president is a conservative, and you're a member of the Dixiechicks. When it's a marxist socialist librul DemocRAT it's totally ok. Didn't you get the memo?
