President Obama's mantra of hope and change is turning into a nightmare for him and his party! His hope and change are now favoring the Republicans - they're very hopeful that there will be a lot of change in November!
In addition to the retirements of folks like Patrick Kennedy, Chris Dodd, and Byron Dorgan, the Globe reports today that 30 Massachusetts legislators are retiring or running for other seats. Some of those of course are Republicans but some long time pols like Rep. Marie St. Fleur and Sens. Joan Menard and Marian Walsh are bowing out. In addition, New York Gov. David Paterson, who replaced the disgraced Elliot Spitzer, announced today that he is not running for election.
Can you imagine...Obama came in on this huge wave last year. He was a fresh voice, he was going to change Washington, he was going help us see beyond our fears. And what has happened? His party is facing major losses in November, Ted Kennedy's old seat went to a Republican and the seats formerly held by Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton may go to Republicans.
Here in Massachusetts, Gov. Deval Patrick will most likely lose in November and the Republicans are looking to pick up seats in the legislature and may even win some other constitutional offices.
This guy is a unmitigated disaster...and I'm loving it.
