The economy is so dismal that President Barack Obama will have to re-write the political history books if he hopes to win re-election, political strategists say.

The latest bad news for Team Obama: Economic growth for the second quarter was revised downward from 1.3 to a mere 1 percent on Friday -- far below the level of activity required to put a dent in the nation’s chronic, high joblessness.

Those slumping GDP numbers followed an economic-outlook report by the Congressional Budget Office that likely touched off alarm bells in Obama’s campaign. Despite optimistic assumptions about GDP growth, inflation, and deficit-spending, the CBO projected U.S. unemployment to be at or above 8.5 percent through the fourth quarter of 2012.

That means President Obama will have to earn a return engagement to the White House under virtually unprecedented circumstances. And he’ll likely have to alter his campaign strategy to do it.......

@gungasnake,

Towery, who served as a political strategist for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in the 1980s and 90s, expects Obama to go sharply negative in an effort to redirect attention from the moribund economy to whether the GOP alternative can be trusted.

“There’s only one thing in politics you do when you’re that low,” he says. “You try to bloody the other guy up just as much as you can.

“I mean, it’s the only answer. I don’t care what anybody says: He can’t put enough commercials on about how hard he works or whatever. It isn’t even working in the African-American community. When Maxine Waters is out there giving you trouble, you know you’ve got problems.”
With unemployment so high, Towery says, the bottom line for Obama and the Democrats is brutally simple: “They’ve got to just bloody up whoever gets the nomination, or the party as a whole,” he says.

@gungasnake,
Dream on as the far right tea party fools will force the GOP to come up with a candidate that can not be elected in the general election.

@gungasnake,
How many other tickets were actually won by the strength of a Vice PResdiential Candidate? Bolstering Perry with Rubio is admitting that Perry is fatally flawed.

Being representative of Dominionist "End Times" religions and special interests that give not **** 1 about the AMerican Public will dig a nice hole for PWErry to lie down in.

Ive said it any times before that The REpublicans cant get it through their stupid heads that maintaining some kind of "Purity of party essence" is anathema to winning an election. ALSO, modern polls clearly showed Dewey trouncing Truman

The very first philosophical test
that I apply in considering ANY candidate
is where he stands on freedom of self defense.

How is Rubio by that standard ??
I called NRA 2 weeks ago, who said that Perry has an A+ rating.

Thay were not "modern" ENUF:
thay were taken from lists of people who had telefones in 1948.

In 198O, I disagreed with Reagan's choice
to BALANCE his ticket with a non-conservative (Bush).
I have never changed my mind on that.

CBS TV News reports that Gallup Poll shows that obama's approval rating has hit A NEW LOW!!!!!
Thay said: 38% approval rating
and that groups that supported him b4
now say that he is not fit to be re-elected.

Accordingly, I endorse and adopt Bill's wish
that ". . . the GOP to run as far far far right " candidates as possible.

@OmSigDAVID,
His polls numbers are higher then the tea party or the GOP control house for that matter.

--------------------------------------------------------------

http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2011/08/29/poll-americans-cooling-to-tea-party/

Americans are cooling to the Tea Party even as it appears to be dictating policy to Republicans in Congress, according to a new Associated Press/GfK Roper national opinion poll.

Just 25 percent of those surveyed consider themselves Tea Party supporters, with 28 percent approving of the right-wing movement. Seventy percent said they are not Tea Party backers, with 46 percent voicing disapproval.


The Tea Party was viewed positively by a 33-30 percent margin in a June, 2010 AP/GfK poll.

The poll found approval for Congress at a rock-bottom level after the prolonged impasse over raising the debt ceiling. Only 12 percent of those surveyed approve of the job lawmakers are doing, down from 30 percent in May: Disapproval for Congress is at an all-time high of 87 percent.

Negative marks for Congress are nothing new. Usually, however, polls show majority disapproval for the Senate and House — but a majority of those surveyed saying they would vote to reelect their own member.

No more. The AP/GfK poll found only 38 percent saying they would vote to reelect their own member of Congress. A whopping 53 percent opted for “someone else.”

The approval rating for Democrats in Congress stands at 30 percent, for Republicans in Congress it is 24 percent.

The poll of 1,000 Americans 18 and older was taken Aug. 18-22. It has a margin of error of plus/minus 4.1 percent.
