As the inevitable continues to take shape, it's becoming clearer that the result of the first year of the Obama Administration will be the wholesale political slaughter of the left.
The dutiful inability of the left to think for themselves shows in their votes on highly unpopular and now proven-to-be-failed policies that the empty suit running the show is jamming down our throats NOW, because he's been counting on the classic themes of the short-attention span of the American voter in the future; namely that he will be able to capitalize on his own increasingly dubious personal popularity while spending the next 3 years convincing the now-raped American population that it was our idea to begin with.
Of course, the now-recognized problem on the part of the so-called "Blue Dog" democrats is that they recognize that they will be the sacrificial lambs in the process.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid are selling them out.
Others looking at coming in or staying are seeing that as well. The result?
Dem recruits continue to head for exits

Democrats have lost yet another touted recruit, this time in Kansas.As one of the five seats in question (so far) there can be no doubt that the question here locally is this: How much will this obvious damage to the leftist brand hurt the democrats right here in the WA03?
State Sen. Laura Kelly (D) just announced her withdrawal from the race to face Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-Kan.). She becomes the fifth formidable recruit to bow out in recent weeks.
“I have been forced to make a decision between honoring the pledge I made to the people in my Senate district and my firm conviction that the people of the 2nd congressional district deserve a truly independent voice in Congress," Kelly said in a statement.
“This has been a very hard decision, but it is the right one.”
Kelly joins several recent dropouts, including businessman Jack McDonald, a well-funded challenger to Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) who announced last week that he wouldn't run. The others are Ohio state Rep. Todd Book, who was running against Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio); former Tennessee Commerce and Insurance Commissioner Paula Flowers, who was running for Rep. Zach Wamp's (R-Tenn.) seat; and Solana Beach City Councilman Dave Roberts, who was running against Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.).
Both McDonald and Kelly were cited in a late October memo from DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen (Md.) that touted the committee's recruiting successes.
On top of that, Democrats have lost four incumbents in vulnerable districts to retirement recently. It has been a distinct shift, taking five seats off the map on offense and adding four on defense.
The strongest democrat running is, by far, Denny Heck.
He's made enough money to self-fund, and he's unsullied by Wallace's waste of tens of millions of dollars on an unwanted and unneeded bridge replacement with loot rail; and Pridemore's corruption on campaign financing and gerrymandering the loot rail operations vote to exclude tens of thousands of Clark County voters who would oppose this massive waste from having a say, while not excluding any of us from paying this massive tax increase.
Crist has no chance. Fringe left isn't going to sell this year.
Salazar has no chance. She knows that; this entire process isn't a serious effort to do anything but raise her profile as chief spokesman for illegal aliens,
But Heck has a the same problem mentioned in the article: he's a democrat. And just BEING a democrat may be problematic considering the massive, generation-long damage they've done to our country in just the past year... so far.
It's the economy, stupid. And under their watch, it's tanked beyond belief.
And having a total clown as president doesn't help your mid-term election prospects at all.

Unfortunately for them, all the Democrats have to fall back on is "Bush & Republicans more evil than us" and "we'll take from those who have to give to you who don't have."
Their expanded "New Deal" ideas are bankrupting the country and leaving us deeply indebted to those countries that would like nothing more than to see our power and wealth stripped away.
The GOP, on the other hand, has the potential to gain much, but they must move away from their tired policy of running empty suited insiders who have been groomed to do the party's bidding.
If we truly wish to stop the "more of the same" we see from both party's, then we voter must move away from "more of the same" and select viable candidates, who although running as a Republican, are not party insiders and who have some fresh ideas at restoring the country.
We need real Representation, not party lip service.
The Clark County GOP has adopted the slogan of "Be The Party." To me, that means that all of you who identify more with the GOP than the Dems, must make your voices heard by the GOP.
That's the only way to move the GOP away from being the same as the Dems. Our complacency will only get us more Obama.
