Despite condemnation from the professional Left, President Obama still enjoys broad support from Democrats.

With Zuccotti Park occupied, Obama’s approval ratings on the economy reaching new lows, and liberal columnists offering daily critiques of what they saw as a stunted stimulus and toothless Wall Street reforms, one can understand why California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom might have thought his recent venting session at a gathering of fellow Democrats in Half Moon Bay would be met with approving clucks or, at very least, silent nods. Not so much. 

“Among the Newsom jabs: Obama should have pushed his agenda harder when the Democrats still controlled both houses of Congress,” recounted the San Francisco Chronicle, “a remark that drew a handful of boos from the audience.” It was just one room of people and there’s nothing wrong with passionate dissent from within a political party–if anything, it’s a healthy sign of democracy. But Newsom ran smack into what seems to be a common misconception about the Obama presidency: Though many of the left’s opinion makers have turned away from Obama, broader liberal flight is a phenomenon that simply doesn’t exist. 

So with the Democratic vote pretty much locked up, and the Republicans willing to commit mass suicide rather than vote for the secret black Muslim, that just leaves the Independents in play.

So who do YOU think they will favor?

The President?

Or this guy?

I am becoming less and less concerned about this election.

No I am not about to take it for granted, but I definitely think we have the wind at our backs.
