60% of the kids who voted for Obama in 08 stayed home in 2010. So there is your loss of the house by the dems.

As I have been saying for years, I believe it was disappointment in Obama turning right after the election that lost we dems the house.

And the grand irony, IMO, is that what the kids saw was subtle, but they saw it because they are smart.

E.g. take Bob Gates, the fatherly looking Republican defense secretary Obama kept on (who tripled the troops in Afghanistan!). A hopeless war every liberal saw, except Obama apparently?

Gates has now joined with Steven Hadley and Cond Rice in a new venture. Hadley is a venal, terrrible and stupid person who was an understudy to Wolfowtiz and fellow a key neo architect of Bush's misadventures. A neo con asshole. And Condi Rice a master oportunist and immoral person.

No one on this thread would form a partnership with those scumbags, so what kind of man is Bob Gates anyway and why did Obama keep him on?

That is what the kids saw in 2010 and were judging Obama on IMO, and why they stayed home and may stay home again in 2012.

Too many cases like that.
