2010: The Year We Break Congress?

November 5, 2009 - 10:02 am - by Stephen Green

Has the White House surrendered [ahem: "preconceded" -ed.] in its War Against Fox News? Probably not, but –

David Axelrod, an ex-newspaper reporter but one of the lead Obama attackers against the Fox News Channel in recent weeks, actually granted an interview to the Fox News Channel.

And later in the piece:

Virginia’s Gov. Tim Kaine, who’s also the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, spent extra national money there and still can’t deliver his own state against a tide of voter dissatisfaction.

Also, they’ll note that Gov. Corzine couldn’t even approach winning New Jersey with that state machine, all the money in the world, a mediocre, overweight Republican opponent, a third-party guy to siphon GOP votes and five presidential appearances in an historically Democratic state that went big for Obama in 2008.

Ouch.

    I know it’s peripheral to the main point of this post, but if I hear one more person say “the Republicans have held this seat for 140 years” I’m going to go bloody postal on them!!

    Check Wiki on that district; I counted seventeen Democratic Party seat-holders since the Civil War, not counting Owens.

    So much for all those layers of fact-checkers, eh? Even some goober at pajamasmedia (from the Moderate Voice) repeated this falsehood.

    I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised at that, since he echoed the same spin that the LA Times and the White House have put on the ’09 elections.

    Casey –

    While I find its publisher to be a good guy, generous, and all those good things, The Moderate Voice is neither.

    Wait… does that makes sense?

    Are you speaking of Joe Gandelman? I was acquainted with him back when he blogged on Dean’s World. A good Joe, excuse the pun. :)

    I don’t think Joe wrote the piece I’m thinking of.
