Another Milepost On The Road To Oblivion

Oh look, Politico is pitching Obama is DOOOOOOOOOOMED stuff again.  Must be another Monday WIN THE NEWS CYCLE offensive with the President's numbers improving enough to mean that they have to serve penance for the Cain sexual assault story.

Sen. Joe Lieberman was treated like an outcast back in 2008 when he broke from the Senate Democratic Caucus and openly opposed Barack Obama’s bid for the White House.

Asked last week if he’d back Obama in 2012, the Connecticut independent said, “I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

This time around, there may be more Liebermans.

A number of moderate Democrats like Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and liberals like Sen. Bernie Sanders are declining to give their unqualified support for the president, saying they’re either too focused on their own races or are calling on the White House to cater to their agendas before they will offer an endorsement. Some up for reelection in red states or in swing districts fear that even showing up on stage with Obama will give their opponents an image to seize upon — much as Democrats did in 2008 when they repeatedly flashed shots of Sen. John McCain hugging President George W. Bush.

Really?  Joe Lieberman doesn't know if he's going to support President Obama?  This is news?  Isn't he not running for reelection anyhow?  And Blue Dog Henry Cuellar is attacking President Obama from the right, while Bernie Sanders is making news by attacking POTUS from the left?  Wow, way to stay on top of the pulse of rapid Washington change, guys.

Then again, Politico thinks the President having a six point lead over Mitt Romney in their own poll makes Obama vulnerable.  Just causing problems, these guys.  Also, totally penance for the Cain story.
