Hmm? How To Interpret "Obama's Coalition Slipping As Election Nears" in NYT???
It seems like a no-win situation for Obama and the Ds:

if the coalition stays together for Obama, well, they're just not enthusiastic enough to get out and vote.

HOWEVER, if these same once-enthusiastic-now-unenthusiastic voters slip away from Obama, they suddenly become very enthusiastic about voting for the Rs!

Make sense to you? Didn't think so.

3. It's a huge push to discourage voting by Dems.

First it was the enthusiasm gap, then the gap is closing, now it's Obama's coalition is failing. Look for this all through the weekend.

4. They've been pushing this crap for months.
Liz Sidoti, everyone's favorite RW AP reporter, wrote an article about Obama's "base" crumbling a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, even Gallup reports support for the President among Democrats at 80+%...
