Obama and his coattails effect in 2012...



I think we will see a turn-around for the Dems in 2012 not necessarily because of sweeping support for Obama but because of the losses we saw in 2010. What I am saying is that I do not think Obama will have anything to do with people coming out rather Dems, who have suffered over the past few months watching the new GOP freshman, will come out because of their guilt for failing to come out last election. While it’s impossible to predict where we will be in 2012, with Obama’s approval rating being the lowest it has ever been, I can’t foresee Obamanation saving the day for Congressional Dems like in 2010. However, I can see all the Dems that watched the GOP “young guns” take control of the House come to the polls to try and reclaim lost ground.

Numbers in Senate are tough for Dems.

Yea, it’s unrealistic to think they will keep all of them but I think if you're counting on Obama's low approval rating to curtail the coattails then you are over-looking the majority of dems who are seeking vengeance!
