The coming elections. . .

A few thoughts on this. . .

Some recent announcements by the administration state that this election is about local issues, and not about the President. It makes me wonder what local issues they are talking about? Foreclosures at an unprecedented rate? Perhaps the nearly consistent 10 percent unemployment rate? How about taxes, both existing and proposals for new ones? What about leadership, or maybe the lack thereof, in the House of Representatives?
There is an extremely fine and short line between local and national politics. So, I find the Administration's position unsupported. This election is about the leadership, direction, focus, and future of this President, and quite possibly the Democratic party. So why this position? Are the leaders of this party so completely out of touch with their constituents and the mood of America? VPOTUS Biden has publicly stated that the Democrats will retain power on November 3. Fascinating. Has he looked at the Rasmussen reports, arguably the most respected pollster in the country. Or is it a matter of arrogance? Is this President so arrogant of his position and power that he, too, is out of touch? Maybe. You can come to your own conclusions on that.
I believe that November 3 will be potentially a historic election. The House is gone. The best case for the Democrats is a 50/50 split in the Senate, and perhaps the most important, is the loss of a large number of governorships. Why is this important? Because of the Census and the consequential redistricting. This will be a critically important factor in the '12 election, when I think the rest of the landslide will come crashing down around the Democrats.
In my humble opinion. . .
