Dems: when did you realize the worm had turned?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I don't think the Dems were in bad shape in 2009 when they presented themselves as the anti incumbant party which voters took their frustration out on them in the 3 special election. Their agenda was distracted due to the high unemployment as well as the terrorist attack and insurgency in Afghanistan.

Now, that the incumbants who were bound to be defeated at the polls and the heavy job losses have been lifted, with eight months left in the campaign season, Dems can reposition themselves to offset those losses and develop a message to the voters.

I don't think the worm has turned all that much here, the states that were in play during the last election cycles are still very much in play, but the Dems will have fewer seats due to the anti incumbancy environment rather than anti democratic environment and Dems can very much minimize their losses here than they started out when they lost the 3 specials.

While I agree there's an anti-incumbency theme to all of this, the Dems are going to face the brunt of this much more than the GOP due to the nature, and execution, of the healthcare bill.  Old school (god, war, and pork) GOP candidates will be vulnerable, but I think incumbent fiscal conservatives will do very, very well.

Once again we are where we are at before the 2004 campaign a 50/50 nation and the map may very well play out in a very similar fashion as it did in 2004 with a few exceptions.

Yes, the tea party is having an effect on the party in power.  But as you can see there are republican moderates running in those states that those youj quote, are having an affect on as well.  The Dems on the ballots may be better off with a split vote.

The worm has turned when you thought that the Dems was going to net gain seats, but it hasn't turned in terms of Dems retaining both majorities in the Congress.  And that was what I was referring to.

They still would of found a way to go after her on Health care, they felt that this 2010 was a GOP regardless and that they can use that as a political weapon against any democratic president like they did in 1994.

The GOP wants to block unemployment extensions and give tax cuts to millionaires that's what they want in 2010 and what Sarah Palin wants to do in 2012 and Mitt Romney, I dont think people want to go back.
