So, does Obama now have large enthusiam gap?

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

Will they even they counted in Wis? pstokely Jun 2012 #4
No. Nobody outside WI is going to care in a week's time. nt TheWraith Jun 2012 #3

This will be their constant campaign ad for the GOP now. The media will see to it with FOX leading the way.

DU does live in a bubble.....and can't believe that the average American or Democrat for that matter doesn't follow and think the same way they do.

And Romney will have boat loads.

We must unite and not destroy Obama or one another anymore!

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.

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.
