[…] Monroe: That is the point, the “youngsters” need to get with it. They were all so excited and participatory in the 2008 elections…but they quickly lost steam and stayed away during the midterms, which is part of the reason we lost the House. Dems, ALL Dems, need to get a fire up their asses and realize that if we lose this chance, life will be far worse than they can imagine. […]

Distortion and Deception! GOP extremists are masterful at distortion and deception! Their followers, marching in lock step to their death cries, never once pausing to verify.

We are on the precipice of political disaster, and lackluster Democrats are allowing it to happen…..Or will they? What will you do Michelle?

I will never understand why people are “angry with Obama” for fighting GOP’s unyielding obstruction against good jobs, affordable health care, better schools/educati on, benefits for “old white folks” (Social Security/Medica re), Civil/Human Rights, Voting Rights, Women’s Rights, Immigration Reform, Tax Fairness, Equal Pay for Equal Work, A Minimum Wage that is a Livable Wage, Diplomacy and Pragmatism Vs. Saber Rattling & Wars.

These are just a few things Obama and Democrats stand for — So, WHY ARE AMERICANS “ANGRY AT OBAMA?”

The man isn’t a king he is the President and he has to work with a Legislative Branch that is tasked with making the laws of the land. Has anybody bothered to check, they will see that one half that Branch, the House, is dominated by obstructionists republicans.

I know the south hates him because he’s Black — or half-white – A term often ignored. BUT THE REST OF US ALLOWING DIRTY SECRET MONEY AND POWER TO CORRUPT?

The BILLIONAIRE OIL/COAL KOCH BROS and their ilk are bringing this country to its knees — Tirelessly working to RETURN US TO THE 1800s. Future reviewers of history will look back in amazement — astonished at how “So few could deceive and destroy so many!”

Brainwashing is a Tool used to perpetuate devastating outcomes. WAKE UP AMERICAN, SMELL THE STENCH OF THE TEAPUBLIKKKlan EXTREMISTS’ PLAYBOOK.

May God of Michelle, or Madaline enlighten us all to go to the polls in November and VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT!

Get used to slavery – or at least the US version of apartheid. Once the dims have been tossed out, the US will have a one-party system just like other countries I can think of.

Were KS not such a Republican state both Brownback and Roberts would look a lot like Ken Blackwell and Mike Dewine did in OH in 2006. Had he been running in ANY other year DeWine would have won, but 2006 was the worst year for the OH GOP in decades. Ken Blackwell–and the outgoing Taft administration- -was so unpopular and lost so badly that the Democratic cottails took Mike DeWine down with him.

And the Democrats do have a good candidate in Chad Taylor, the Shawnee County District Attorney. Roberts is still the overwhelming favorite in this race. But his residency issues could give Taylor an opening, albeit a limited one.

Roberts’s fate may be linked to Brownback. If Brownback continues to be unpopular, should Davis beat him, which is possibly because, while Democrats have not won a Senate race since 1932, they have periodically won the Governorship. The Dockings, John Carlin, Joan Finney, and Kathleen Sebeilus were able to win.

So if there is an upset that no one expects on Election night it might happen in KS. This is probably the sleeper race of the cycle.

7. As for the Governorships I think that the Democrats will break even or may gain one or two Governorships.
