While Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared on “Fox News Sunday,” predicting the Democrats would hold on to the Senate in November, some other interesting items appeared in the news.
According to Reuters, “President Barack Obama made a rare appearance on the campaign trail on Sunday with a rally to support the Democratic candidate for governor in Maryland, but early departures of crowd members while he spoke underscored his continuing unpopularity.”
At the same time, Peter Sullivan and Bernie Becker titled a column in The Hill via Drudge: “Clinton Democrats' falling flat”
The authors state that, “Self-proclaimed Clinton Democrats are struggling this election cycle, and not even their powerful namesakes may be enough to save them.
Both Bill and Hillary Clinton have tried to turn on their charms to help centrist Democrats in Kentucky and Arkansas. But as candidates in both states are slipping, help from the party’s preeminent power couple is falling short.”
So, with the mid-term results only 16 days away, the prospects for Dem’s at present seem quite dim. However, as history illustrates, until all the votes are counted nothing about any kind of election is certain.
Nonetheless, aside from the present Congressional races, voter’s reactions may be indicating something else, as well. Because, despite all the fawning anticipation gushing from the main-stream media about Bill Clinton’s wife expected run for the presidency in 2016, which they believe she’ll win without doubt, at present both Clinton’s together seem to be losing their clout.
And what’s even worse for her is the fact that back in 2008, when she was thought to be a shoo-in presidential candidate, an unknown, inexperienced, nobody crawled out of the Chicago woodwork and stole the nomination right out from under her. Which means it’s very possible, the same thing might very well happen again next time around. Especially if her popularity slide continues.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
