it has started. we knew the MSM would start pumping out stories noting the sudden surge in dem enthusiasm, their recovering poll numbers, & etc., etc. it's 100% crap, but that has never stopped them before. part of the reason is that the MSM can't resist the horse race aspect of any election, and they will create one to report if one doesn't exist. but the largest part of the explanation is that their hearts are with the endangered liberals.
the support for this conclusion? in this story, it is obama's 2008 campaign manager, the disappointing crowd (despite forced attendence) at the liberal hatefest in dc, nancy pelosi, and howard dean. you needn't look any further than the retarded sourcing for this to conclude that the dems are in peril of historic proportions. "unprecedented" peril, to borrow the president's favorite word.
Democrats Start to Show Signs of Life Ahead of 2010 Election
With less than three weeks until an Election Day widely expected to be a GOP landslide, there are some signs that Democrats are starting to show life. While signals still point to Democratic losses, the party may not face the anticipated tidal wave.
Historically, a first-term president's party loses seats in the midterm elections. Also, this year, Democrats simply have more seats at stake and a flat economy hampering them. Polls have shown a persistent enthusiasm gap between the parties, prompting some Democratic leaders to scold their base voters. President Obama, for example, warned against Democrats "sulking." But there are indications, experts say, that his party may be stirring.
Earlier this month, tens of thousands gathered at Washington, D.C.'s Lincoln Memorial for a rally hosted by labor unions and other left-leaning groups. And last week, the Democratic National Committee announced that it raised a record $16 million in September, 80 percent of which came in small donations. Democratic strategists point to the rally and the fundraising blitz as proof that excitement is building among their party base.
"We are seeing more inclination for Democrats to vote," said David Plouffe, who managed Obama's presidential campaign. "Trajectory is important and matters in politics," he added.

Well the dems are in it to win it that is for sure. :mental: Why just yesterday at the LOCAL WALMART I saw one of their finer examples of Detroit Iron festooned with a Dean Sticker and an Obama sticker one on the left, one on the right rear bumper, both obviously victims of a blind driver who parks using the braille system (that is, back up until you feel a bump). I would have expected to see this vehicle at the local 'feel good' fresh market, but certainly not the hated WALMART.
