THE DEMOCRATS 5 POINT PLAN FOR 2010: - AND HOW WELL IT WILL WORK

1. "BLAME BUSH"- (FOR THE DEFICITS, FOR PROBLEMS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ, ETC.)
   
2. RUN AGAINST THE "PARTY OF NO"- (ARGUE THAT THE GOP IS AGAINST PROGRESS)
   
3. PILLORY "THE PARTY OF PALIN" - (SAY THE GOP ISN'T READY FOR PRIME TIME)
4. "IT'S THE RACISM, STUPID!" - SAY THE GOP IS RACIST TO GET BLACKS OUT IN HIGHER NUMBERS LIKE 2008)
   
5. AND DOLE OUT "STIMULUS" MONEY IN KEY DISTRICTS - (THE CHICAGO WAY)
   

IT WON'T WORK.

DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE RARELY DOES.

• THEY CANNOT SAY, "VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE I VOTED FOR OBAMACARE!"

• THEY CANNOT SAY, "VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE WE LOWERED UNEMPLOYMENT!"

• THEY CANNOT SAY, "VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE WE BROUGHT PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST."

• THEY CANNOT SAY, "VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE WE MADE US SAFER."

• THEY CANNOT SAY, "VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE WE GOT TOUGHER ON ISRAEL."

• THEY CANNOT SAY, "VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE WE STOPPED IRAN'S NUKE PROGRAM."

AND SO ON.

• THEY HAVE NOTHING POSITIVE TO RUN ON, AND THEY CAN'T HIDE.
  

• AND THEY CAN'T ALL "RETIRE TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH FAMILY."

• AND OBAMA WON'T HELP THEM: DEEDS AND CORZINE AND COAKLEY PROVED OBAMA IS A DRAG.

• AND THEY DON'T HAVE A STAR LIKE PALIN WHO CAN STEP IN AND HELP RAISE MONEY AND GET ATTENTION FOR CANDIDATES, EITHER.

PREDICTION: THE GOP WILL GAIN 100 SEATS IN THE HOUSE AND 10 SEATS IN THE SENATE.

OUTRAGEOUS?

NAH:

NATE SILVER PREDICTS THE GOP WILL GAIN AT LEAST 50 AND AS MANY AS 80 IN THE HOUSE - AND THINGS AREN'T GONNA GET BETTER FOR THE DEMOCRATS BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER.

MY PREDICTION:

IN JANUARY 2011, PELOSI WILL HAVE TO HAND OVER THE GAVEL TO JOHN BOEHNER!

AND THE NEW MINORITY LEADER OF THE SENATE WILL BE: LITTLE DICK DURBIN!

YEAH, BABY!
