Keep campaigning Mr. President - for the opponents!

President Obama campaigned for incumbant New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine in 2009. New Jersey is a traditionally Democrat state. In fact, if you were looking for a bluer than blue state, New Jersey is it. Barack Obama won the state by 15 percent in 2008. If there was a state that you would expect to have a Democrat elected again, especially an incumbant, New Jersey. They elected Republican Chris Christie by a 4 percent margin. A state that overwhelmingly voted for Barack Obama for President just a year ago voted for Republican Chris Christie for Governor.

President Obama campaigned for Creigh Deed for Virginia Governor in 2009. Virginia went to Obama by 6 percent in the 2008 election. After voters got a taste of Obama politics, Republican Robert McDonnell beat Deeds by a 17 point margin.

The President also campaigned for Martha Coakley (Or Marcia as she is known by “her good friend” Patrick Kennedy (D-RI)). Massachusetts (though I only lived there for a year and a half and not my entire life, I can still spell it –unlike Mrs. Coakley’s campaign) went decidedly for Barack Obama 62 t o 36 percent in 2008. Ted Kennedy, “the lyin’ of the senate” held that Senate seat for 47 years. Massachusetts is also one of the bluest of states. One year of Obama politics is all it took for a state that only has 12 percent registered Republicans and 35 percent are Democrats to vote a Republican by a margin of 7 percent.

If I were running for office as a Republican I would invite the President to campaign for my opponent. Seems whomever he campaigns for loses. Could it be that the American people are having buyer’s remorse? Could it be that the American people don’t want the Socialism that the Obama administration promises? Nah, the Democrats must just be running the wrong candidates – every time!.

As an aside, it was also interesting to see the Nobel Prize winner, and his wife, go to Copenhagen to persuade the International Olympic Committee to send the 2016 Olympics to his home town of Chicago. Chicago was eliminated in the first round. Chicago only garnered 18 of the 94 votes. The President couldn’t even get 20 percent of the IOC vote. It couldn’t have anything to do with Obama.

This can’t be happening; Obama stood for hope and change. Everyone was supposed to love his ideas and just do what he says because he was so smart and well spoken (with the help of the teleprompter –uh, um, um, not uh so good um without uh it). I remember reading just a short while ago about the decline and even death of the Republican Party. With Barack Obama in charge I, for one, am seeing the change; a resurgence of the Conservatives in the Republican party and decline of the Democrats.
