    Me too. Glad to see the Democrats have figured out it takes two to tango.

    So funny that Dems never found the Kennedys or John Kerry "unrelatable".

    I guess they were much less conspicuous with their wealth. Plus, they each "earned" their money the "right" way, I guess.

    Oh, a good many dems couldn't dredge up the gumption to go balls-to-wall for Kerry, the big stiff . . . and it beat them.

    I can throw plenty of mud at JFK (but, compared to RMN -- like, are you kidding?), but he had elan, and the only guy since who came close to JFK's elan rating was WJC, though the incumbent also has a running shot, if the next four years don't wholly suck. Reagan? Role-playing. Wouldn't you like to be a contra, too?

    I giggle at anyone trying to cite a "slow recovery." I'll take that compared to the "really-really-fast crash" under Bush. Obama said the recovery would take time, and it has. Obama said we'd be out of Iraq, and we largely are, tho not as fast as I would have preferred. Obama said we would get a health care plan through, and he did, tho with more compromising than I would have liked. He said all this stuff on the campaign trail. We knew what he wanted to do. And we elected him handily. He clearly didn't change, but the midterms indicated that to some degree, a lot of people, apparently expecting a magic bullet, did, and took out those frustrations in Congressional elections.

    Now Obama clearly made tactical errors; he should have made damn sure Kennedy's seat didn't have an utterly incompetent campaigner trying to hold on to it. And he should have gotten more involved in the midterms. Now he's stuck with a do-nothing Congress with a House run by a preening martinet. Attacking such a Congress in the campaign worked for Truman; maybe Obama should consider that lesson as it comes time for the campaign to crank up in earnest.

    In bad economic times, the GOP would be much better served by throwing a guy out there who actually looks like has used a shovel, broken a sweat, drank a beer at the local bar and so on.

    Basically, they need another Ronald Reagan, and I am pretty sure we are going to meet the next Reagan in 2016.
