Dick FAT Morris blogs: Dorgan and Dodd quit sinking ship!, Congenital liar, GESTAPO Sean KLANnity at Fox News screamed: Obama “quadrupled the deficit,” …the Dems are in trouble!!

In addition to the six Senate Republican incumbents who have decided not to seek re-election (compared to the two Democratic incumbents) there are 14 GOP incumbents in the House who have decided not to seek re-election (compared to the ten 10 Democratic incumbents have made the same decision.)

“[Republicans] are having some really bloodletting primaries in virtually all of their states. Particularly in open-seats, they are having these huge primaries,” said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.). “Whether it is the tea party people or the birthers or others, the reality is that the extreme right wing of the Republican Party, they keep pushing their candidates further and further to the right… So, the bottom line is, they are going to be out of sync of where the mainstream electorate is in the midterm election.” [ READ MORE ]

Keep in mind: The Republicans are right now the minority party in both houses of Congress, therefore they have a deep hole to climb out of.

Expert Opinions

Craig Charney: The withdrawal of Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) is good news for the Democrats. He has been around a long time and was somewhat tainted by his ties to the banking industry. (In particular, he was tarnished by his quixotic vanity run for the White House in 2008, largely funded by financial industry donations.) He’s been polling poorly for some time and hasn’t shown signs of improvement. Attorney General Dick Blumenthal has been waiting in the wings for a Senate vacancy for years now. He is exceptionally popular (a 78% approval rating) and should win the seat handily. This one just moved from the tossup to the lean-Dem column in my books. [ READ MORE ]

Bob Shrum: Democrats are inseparably tied to 0bama. And it’s more than possible that they will regard that as an advantage– for sure by 2012 and even by 2010. That may be a lonely view, especially with regard to this year. But I believe we should now be reading the business pages rather than the instant political analysis of a moment or a day. ( Said with apologies to POLITICO, which with regularity seems to predict a falling sky for the President and the Democrats.) The economic reporting increasingly points not only to a recovery, but to real and substantial job creation. If that’s the story of the next few months, by August we will be standing on a very different political landscape. [ READ MORE ]
