You might be having a bad election year if . . .

. . . you are Senator Russ Feingold and two of the “regular people” in your anti-“special interests” ad . . . are AFL-CIO officials.


. . . some of your “safe” seats suddenly aren’t so safe after all.

. . . July existing home sales drop 27.2% . . . and it is not a typo.

You might be having a bad election year if . . .

. . . you are a Democrat and Time has you down 6 on their generic congressional ballot poll. You know it has to be even worse in the real world.

. . . liberal allies fondly want a past president to help you out: George W. Bush.

. . . the economy is still getting worse with unemployment claims surging over 500,000.

My political bloodbath prediction yesterday is looking better already.

You might be having a bad election year if . . .

. . . you are booed . . . by Boy Scouts.

You might be having a bad election year if . . . (UPDATED)

. . . you cut prices for a fundraiser . . . at which the President of the United States will appear. And that is no joke.

Demand was so low for a fundraiser for Missouri Democrat Robin Carnahan’s run for Senate that prices were cut. And that even though (or because of?) Obama will appear:

Carnahan's campaign wasn't able to completely sell out the Folly Theater, where Obama will appear for a grassroots (editor: SNORT!) event on Carnahan's behalf, at the prices they wanted. Tickets once priced at $250 are now going for $99, while $35 tickets are half off.

Heck, they might as well sell $5 tickets to hecklers.


UPDATE:
Now it can be told!

The REAL reason for Obama and Carnahan’s fundraising flop is . . .

George W. Bush.
