Topic: Barack Obama
As many of you may remember, Republican Chris Christie defeated Democrat incumbent Jon Corzine last November in New Jersey's Gubernatorial race despite 3 visits from on high by the Messiah. Despite the big media political spin on the issue, the fact of the matter is that Corzine ran as a liberal Obama lackey and lost.
"New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine has embraced the president with gusto, regularly invoking his name on the campaign trail and embracing his agenda at every opportunity." -- (Politico)
So why then is Our Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Obama flying out to Massachusetts this afternoon to campaign for Democratic Senatorial candidate Martha Coakley in the run-off election to fill what was previously Ted Kennedy's seat? The conventional wisdom is that if Obama shows up, it must mean that the White House has polling data that shows that either Coakley is winning or that an appearance from The One will push Coakley over the top. But Obama's poll numbers have not been very favorable lately, and considering the embarrassment in New Jersey, not to mention his failed Olympic bid, the conventional wisdom begins to sound more and more like wishful thinking on the part of the Democrats.
Last Thursday Scott Brown, the Republican senatorial candidate, made this statement concerning a possible appearance by Obama, “He should stay away and let Martha and I discuss the issues one on one... The machine is coming out of the woodwork to get her elected. They’re bringing in outsiders, and we don’t need them.”
When I first heard this story I heard it from a liberal media outlet and of course they were predictably angry about it. But the way they said it made me think - what if Scott Brown considered the left's reaction in advance before he made the statement? What if he knew how angry it would make them? Well, then that would make the statement a dare. Scott Brown dared Obama to come knowing full well that his appearance could only hurt Coakley's campaign and Obama, always the narcissist, took the bait hook, line and sinker.
If I'm right, and Brown actually pulls it off. This will shut down the Obama White House "permanent campaign" and officially reign in the era of the "lame duck" - at least as far as the "Obama brand" goes. That on top of the irony that the "Kennedy Health Care Bill" would be definitively voted down by the very people who elected Kennedy.
CNN Senior White House Correspondent, Ed Henry reported this afternoon that the White House believes Coakley will lose the senate race. This tidbit tells us two things; 1, the conventional wisdom was wrong and 2, Obama went anyway. It's starting to look like my assertion about Brown's "dare" was correct.
January 27, 2010 - Update:
While Brown has not admitted to goading The Messiah into coming out to Massachusetts to give Coakley the kiss of death, his decisive victory certainly shows that whatever his plan was, it worked. So it appears that I was right about Brown's triple-dog-dare to Obama but I was wrong about something else.
The Obama administration is not going to give up on it's "permanent campaign", as a matter of fact they've just decided to bring David Plouffe back to ratchet it up even more.The brutal upset in Massachusetts wasn't a referendum on Obama, the liberal elite say. No, Republican senatorial candidate Scott Brown was swept into office by the fiery anger and hatred of President George W. Bush.
It's almost sad in a way, to watch these elitist snobs direct themselves right into a death spiral thinking that it is the very thing that will save them. When they crash I'll be just about a surprised as someone watching the coyote smack against the pavement after diving off of a cliff chasing the road runner. Meanwhile, I fully support Obama's decision to crank up the liberal campaign machine. I hope he is able to provide all of his party's candidates with the same assistance he gave to Coakley and Corzine.
