Maybe for some of the same reasons. There are a lot of Republicans that haven't exactly endeared themselves to the Conservative base of their party.

But, I'm guessing, there'll be more Republicans replace by Republicans than there will be Democrats replaced by Democrats.

Wow, the party in power loses seats in a midterm election?

Bold.

I never see what it says, anymore, unless someone quotes it but, wow!, Chump has devolved into a non-vulgar boutons_deux.

I want a new personal troll, this one's spent.

I just figured you would have an opinion on why more Republicans are leaving power than Democrats, Barney. It's curious that you constantly leave out that fact.

lol "it," Barney.

Why don't you tell me now?

Be specific.

The answers are at the Tea Party - :lol

PhoenixSpursFan certainly has none.

Poll after poll shows enthusiasm among likely GOP voters is way down, while enthusiasm for democratic voters is up slightly...Of course, if your in Tx you think everyone is a Obama hater..

Yikes. Conservatives getting slapped up, down, left right and center in this thread.

Better to just abandon it and start a new one. :lol

Conservative "philosophy" and mis-government has fucked up America, and will continue to do so.

I think he meant the one that started when Bush gave away the surplus and went to war without any end-game.

The recession that started with Bush in office? So the conservative-created recession?

Some people have the attention span of gnats. They must just look around at a mess and point a finger at who is in charge, assuming it is their fault since they are on duty.

Lets see if the "tea party" nutjobs end up actually endorsing any of the black candidates. Then they can talk. Until then, their birth-certificate-questioning members can continue to look they way they look: like conspiracy-mongering, racist buffoons.

How many economic laws did the Dems actually pass in 06? I seem to remember a good deal of obstruction on the part of Republicans back then...

Who cares? If we're going to attempt to track the legislation that contributed to the crisis we'd need to go till the FDR administration and beyond.

The purpose of my post was just to show that the "this was Bush's recession" theory is just as pathetic as the "this is Obama's recession".

Wrong answer - but thanks for playing...

DEM TURNOUT FALLS OFF A CLIFF
By Reid Wilson

Turnout among Dem voters dropped precipitously in 3 statewide primaries on Tuesday, giving the party more evidence that their voters lack enthusiasm ahead of midterm elections.

In primaries in NC, IN and OH, Dems turned out at far lower rates than they have in previous comparable elections.

Just 663K OH voters cast ballots in the competitive primary between LG Lee Fisher (D) and Sec/State Jennifer Brunner (D). That number is lower than the 872K voters who turned out in '06, when neither Gov. Ted Strickland (D) nor Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) faced serious primary opponents.

Only 425K voters turned out to pick a nominee against Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC). The 14.4% turnout was smaller than the 444K voters -- or 18% of all registered Dem voters -- who turned out in '04, when Gov. Mike Easley (D) faced only a gadfly candidate in his bid to be renominated for a second term.

And in IN, just 204K Hoosiers voted for Dem House candidates, far fewer than the 357K who turned out in '02 and the 304K who turned out in '06.

By contrast, GOP turnout was up almost across the board. 373K people voted in Burr's uncompetitive primary, nearly 9% higher than the 343K who voted in the equally non-competitive primary in '04. Turnout in House races in IN rose 14.6% from '06, fueled by the competitive Senate primary, which attracted 550K voters. And 728K voters cast ballots for a GOP Sec/State nominee in Ohio, the highest-ranking statewide election with a primary; in '06, just 444K voters cast ballots in that race.

Top Dem strategists have promised to spend millions to get their voters to cast ballots, and polls show they will need to succeed in order to avoid an electoral beating. The latest weekly Gallup tracking survey shows 43% of GOPers are "very enthusiastic" about voting, while just 33% of Dems feel the same way.

But some Dems say they don't worry about low turnout in primaries at the moment.

"We had historic increases in registration in 2008 and we are working to turn out those first time voters again this fall, and we'll do so united behind our nominees -- which can't be said of Republicans," DNC spokesman Hari Sevugan said. "The real story in looking at motivation of the base from yesterday was a deeply divided Republican party that nominated deeply flawed candidates that overwhelming majorities of their own voters couldn't support."

Sevugan pointed to ex-Sen. Dan Coats (R), who won just 39% of the IN primary vote, and to Rep. Dan Burton (R), who held off 2 strong challengers to win renomination with just 30% of the vote, as evidence that the GOP coalition is fractured.

But Dems face problems in reuniting their base, too. Asked recently how much she would campaign for Fisher if she lost the primary, Brunner made a zero with her hands. NC Sec/State Elaine Marshall (D) and ex-state Sen. Cal Cunningham (D) will face off again in a June 22 runoff, sapping more of their already-limited treasuries.

About the only state the party doesn't have internal conflict at the moment is in IN, where Sen. Evan Bayh's (D) retirement means the party will hand-pick Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D) later this month. But in search of party harmony, there is peril: Bayh's departure gives the GOP an excellent shot at winning the seat, and Ellsworth's candidacy means his own GOP-leaning district is up for grabs too.

Efforts are already underway to improve Dem turnout this fall. The DNC has promised $30M to be spent on GOTV operations run through Organizing for America, Pres. Obama's political wing. The group will emphasize voter turnout and persuasion, as well as personal interaction that DNC chair Tim Kaine recently told reporters is more effective than TV advertising.

KEEP UP THAT WISHFUL THINKING DAN :lmao

You have no clue if you think the recession has anything to do with the Democrats of 2006. If anything, this can be traced back to the deregulation period of the Reagan years.

Now we paid the price for it. Well I didn't but I'm sure someone did. Maybe.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dem turnout was low. Most of the "youth vote" seemed to be well left of the political center... and Obama is, for the most part, governing center-left. Most are probably jaded.

True. It has much more to do with the deregulation of banks and financial derivatives under Bill Clinton in the late 1990's.

Not all of them.

Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barney Franks, Christopher Dodd, Larry Summers, and Timothy Geithner are the most culpable.

Which Republicans are to blame according to you, yoni?

Reagan, GWB and the GOP's recent Congressional majorities about cover it for me.

They don't endorse or fail to by race. If there is a black conservative running against someone less conservative, then (s)he will get the endorsement. Just that simple. No affirmative action required.

So a congress in power for less than 12 months is responsible for a recession. Is that what you're saying?

Yes. They kept saying how bad a slowly growing economy was, talked about tax hikes, and scared this nation into recession.
