This one has good potential.
Whalefood predicts a big loss.
A regular little slap-fest at the campfire.

You heard it here first: Obama will NOT be re-elected
Obama simply has too much going against him (much of it self created):
1. The base thinks he stinks - and wont work for him
2. He has done little if anything for jobs and the economy - the public will blame him for this, and be open to a GOOPER candidate (I should say slightly more right wing than Obama)
3. NO ONE cares about the deficit, 'cept Obama and the rich - he is screwing the pooch (and making himself a uber millionaire after he leaves office) by his hawkishness here
4. People think he is a wimp, who backs off on and breaks every promise (wonder why that is?)
5. People will vote for a Republican over a Republican lite (Harry Truman, I believe?)
So we need to prepare
-Roe v Wade will be gone, and the issue to the states
-no action (not that there are any now by O) on climate change
-social security and medicare/aid gutted (O likes this as we all know)
-more jobs overseas
what can we do?
-remake the Dem party into a real liberal labor party
-failing that (it a guaranteed fail) start a new Socialist Labor Party - it's really the only smart move

2. Naw, it will be a cakewalk
Look at the losers on the right. It will be a blowout. It might even bring huge coattails. People are just a bit levied with angst right now. Nobody campaigns better than Obama
Brodick drinks the koolaid.

5. We need to build a party that has labor at it's base -
I don't care if we take the dem party back or create a new one.
That requires getting a job. try it sometime.

15. If you have thrown in the towel to the Republicans you will need to prepare for alot more than that.
You will not recognize this country after a few years of teabagger/GOP rule.
Considering what you fruitcake loons have done, I sincerely hope you're right.
Hard telling how long this fire will burn.

By labor, I assume you mean unions. They represent even less of the voting public than the black vote does. good luck with that one, especially since many union members don't march in lock step with union leadership.

Please do it, with only 20% of the US population calling themselves Progressives? we'll win every election if you scream that loud and proud.

You know who is smiling?
Jimmy Carter that's who.
