The MSM is going to do everything in their power to convince folks that Obama can't be beat in the hopes that conservatives will lose heart and stay home.

They tried that in 2010.

No way, the problem I am finding as I serve on a local board, is that if the House doesn't stop bringing forth all these bills that take away local voter control they will find themselves on the other side like in 2010. They have got to stop with the social issues and get to work on budgetary items. Between no more building aid for school districts etc.. The local voter is getting squeezed. Between federal and state unfunded mandates, I have no idea how many more can afford their property tax. Don't talk about Kuster, it's bad enough my sister is on the rise and a possible delegate for the other side. She campaigned for Kuster. Thank goodness I'm in the lakes region. We do not talk politics at all. Sadly the only thing out of her mouth is the democratic party line and it's getting difficult to hear it. Luckily my town is predominately R.

They have done SOME work on budgetary issues, but I'll agree more needs to be done.  They did have to do something about castle doctrine/stand your ground, which they did, but again, more needs done (Mr. Fleming over in Farmington should never have been arrested for felony reckless endangerment, IMO.)  Gay marriage is pretty much a done deal, and the world hasn't ended, so they need to give up that ghost already on trying to overturn it.

But this is something out of the local rag I find funny.  This is what the Dems are coming up with.  Read and enjoy.

What a chucklehead ,as if someone from Portsmouth even remotely knows the issues. I agree on leaving alone gay marriage but it's concerning when the Feds do not meet their commitment for education and then Obama says States should spend more. If the govt met its requirement of 40% for Special Education costs then States and Local Govt would have more to spend. I'm not even going there on bargaining agreements but the best damn thing this current crop of legislators did was the repeal of the Evergreen law. That guy saying more stimulus money needs to go out, how about giving it to small business owners who would really know how to invest.
