Alright some of you are getting stuck in the weeds...

When is the last time the GOP lost a district that was 3:1 registration in their favor. umm, frickin' never. Even Ted Stevens in AK lost by a sliver after being found guilty of a FELONY (which was later ruled BS - shock).

Keep spinning you can't make this shit up! A district that hasn't gone GOP in 90 years is "incredibly conservative" and really tough and hard and crap (sob!) 2012 can't come quickly enough.

I have been saying that as well. But Obama likes splitting the difference between New Deal and Trickle Down. It's like mixing chocolate and feces in the name of compromise.

Which category to handouts to public employee unions fall under?

Whatever Obama was thinking when he sold out his stated values and abandoned his base in order to "compromise" with an uncompromising opposition party must have changed when these election results confirmed that Scott Brown's earlier victory was not a fluke but a sign. A bad sign.

Enough already Obama. Go back to your base, rally them and whoever else that's willing to follow and stand tall.....for once.

I think he's in a bind and can't really do that.

If it looks like he's taking his focus off the economy he'll get slammed by everyone, including the media and his own party.

I think his best reelection chance is hoping for a poor candidate by the Repubs, and it's not like that's a long shot or anything. Even so, Congressional Dems could still take a beating.

Wasserman is mostly full of crap on this.

He counterpart is far worse, more wrong, more dishonest. You won't post about him.

Which statement in the article is wrong?

Democratic party leaders insisted the loss wasn’t a harbinger of things to come. “It’s a very difficult district for Democrats,” said Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, noting its Democratic margins there tend to be the second lowest of all the districts in New York City.
House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), dismissed that idea.
“This is a very seriously Democrat district,” Mr. Boehner said. “This is not a district that Republicans have any right to believe we could win.”
