The election in 2012 was not looking good for the Dems to start with. They got pummeled in 2010, lost the Kennedy seat and governorships in NJ and VA, they lost every major election and are on a glidepath to continue losing in '12. The economy sucks, so Obama and the Dems need to be competitive in the swing states of FL, OH, MI, even NJ.
Obama's recent pronouncement on Israel had the group of elderly Upper East Side Jews sitting behind me at PJ Bernsteins Deli wondering if they would support him again in 2012. How will they win FL? OH? MI? What's the thinking behind writing off 2012 in May of 2011?
Surely someone at the Dem Party has to know that writing off the Jewish vote is not a good strategy for 2012!
There is something really not right about this.
What happens if the ME goes ballistic before 2012? And I do mean Ballistic
