Will Dems in Florida or Ohio (who aren't DUers) really care that he didn't get involved in Wis in 5 months? Would they have cared if he did? Mittens has a bigger enthusiasm gap with the repuke base than Obama does with his base

(9,073 posts)at least that is one theory. Hopefully we will all work smarter too. The wisconsin recall is not the end all or be all.
It has been reported 60% of voters were not supportive of the recall because it was not for official misconduct. He is under investigation but there is no indictment (as of yet). I think the next few weeks, months may be interesting to watch.
Obama is ahead in Wisconsin by 11 points. That is good news.

(6,960 posts)This is huge.
All those so excited yesterday can be dismissive this evening ... but the fact is that Pres. Obama's Tweet is not a morale booster.
Most importantly this shows that Citizens United puts Democrats behind the eight ball.
My analysis is that unless Pres. Obama does something big like Chris Matthews suggested the other day (proposing a big, BIG, jobs, infrastructure building program), well, his reelection is going to be very tough.
