the obamites are just relieved that the media is talking about something besides how utterly incompetent they are.
but notice the sickening, yet subtle, masturbatory circularity to his point. they are being helped by republican anger that is caused by . . . them. see? they are still the masters of the universe! even when they are the biggest failures in the history of modern american government, they are still Lords of All They Survey.
Obama spokesman: Republican anger helping DemocratsWhite House spokesman Robert Gibbs says Republican anger is helping Democrats hold their majorities in the U.S. House and Senate.
"Intra-party Republican anger has changed the complexion of a number of races at a state and a district level," Gibbs told reporters today. "And that has real-world practical implications for the outcome of what happens in November."
Gibbs spoke a day after Tea Party-backed candidate Christine O'Donnell beat veteran Republican Michael Castle in a Delaware Senate primary. That result makes a Republican victory in Delaware "a fundamentally harder task."
A reporter asked Gibbs about O'Donnell's comment in 2008 that Obama's Senate record was so liberal it was "anti-American."
Gibbs noted that O'Donnell was also a candidate herself that year.
"I think comments like that is probably what led to her losing 2- to-1 in Delaware in 2008," Gibbs said.
He opponent that year: Long-time Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., now vice president.
