Palin, horridly so, just gets stronger because of this as she will be a GOP candidate for presidency and take the TeePees with her--Max.

Extreme Delinquencies. Sounds like a new sport? "the average number of days delinquent in New York, Florida, New Jersey, Hawaii and Main actually exceeded 500 days. This is notable because these states are judicial foreclosure states and, one might assume, their foreclosure processes would be more streamlined than the less-consistent non-judicial foreclosure states." realestate.bryanellis.com

Sink blames loss on Obama White House (Recriminations begin) .......................................................... Hot Air ^ \| NOVEMBER 6, 2010 \| ED MORRISSEY hotair.com The deep frustration felt by many centrist Democrats toward the White House and the national party is now out in the open. Florida Democratic gubernatorial nominee Alex Sink pointed an accusatory finger Friday at what she called a “tone-deaf” Obama White House to explain why she narrowly lost her campaign. In an interview with POLITICO, Sink said the administration mishandled the response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, doesn’t appreciate the political damage done by healthcare reform and argued that her GOP opponent’s strategy of tying her to the president did grave damage to her candidacy in the state’s conservative Panhandle. “They got a huge wake-up call two days ago, but unfortunately they took a lot of Democrats down with them,” said Sink of the White House.

Centrist Dems rip 'tone-deaf' White House .......................................................... Sink says the White House got a huge 'wake up call' in the midterms, but took many Democrats down with them. POLITICO 11/6/10 politico.com In the wake of the party’s worst election drubbing since 1994, the deep frustration felt by many centrist Democrats toward the White House and the national party is now out in the open. And it’s being aired in the battleground state that’s the biggest prize in presidential politics. Florida Democratic gubernatorial nominee Alex Sink pointed an accusatory finger Friday at what she called a “tone-deaf” Obama White House to explain why she narrowly lost her campaign. In an interview with POLITICO, Sink said the administration mishandled the response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, doesn’t appreciate the political damage done by healthcare reform and argued that her GOP opponent’s strategy of tying her to the president did grave damage to her candidacy in the state’s conservative Panhandle. “They got a huge wake-up call two days ago, but unfortunately they took a lot of Democrats down with them,” said Sink of the White House. She added: “They just need to be better listeners and be better at reaching out to people who are on the ground to hear about the realities of their policies as well as politics.” Sink’s complaint can, of course, be chalked up in part to sour grapes on the part of a candidate fresh off a tough loss looking for an explanation. She lost her race by a single percentage point. But Sink's pointed critique expressed the sentiments of other Florida Democrats after an election in which the party lost four U.S. House seats and every statewide contest Tuesday, not to mention statehouse losses that left Democrats facing GOP legislative supermajorities in one of the largest states in the nation. Sink said there is a disconnect between the White House and the rest of the country. ... "I think they were tone-deaf,” she said. “They weren't interested in hearing my opinion on what was happening on the ground with the oil spill. And they never acknowledged that they had problems with the acceptance of health care reform.” The new law, she said, is “unpopular particularly among seniors” — a key voting bloc in the Sunshine State. White House aides and Democratic National Committee officials, however, say that without the involvement of the national party and Obama’s political arm, Organizing for America, Sink would have fared worse. “The DNC and OFA kept that campaign afloat,” said a senior West Wing official.
