Words from the Ragin' Cajun

Carville: Wake up Democrats; you could lose - CNN.com

 

Now is not the time for Democrats to become complacent.  The electoral map shows a much different picture than the daily press offers.  Incumbents have lost in Europe but the advantage that Obama has is that theirs was a vote against austerity.  Obama does not favor that.  However, he has not been as populist and he could be about the survival of the middle class.

The 1% are not campaigning for Obama.  We have seen the financial industry go from 15% of the American economy to 40% largely due to cushy regulations or the lack of effective enforcement.  We need to move our economy back to actual production and the tax code needs to reflect our effort to do that.

The battle is just beginning.  The existence of the middle class is at stake.
