Last Call

TPM's David Kurtz sums it up for the Dems right now.

Democrats in Congress wield the power of the majority and the advantages of incumbency but they're also facing a potential trouncing at the polls in November.

So how are congressional Democrats planning to use the tools still at their disposal to hold on to their majorities?
...
OK, well, I mean what popular proposals are Democrats planning to make Republicans vote against between now and the August recess, when the 2010 campaigning really heats up and they can beat them up over their no votes?
...
Um, OK, what about a coordinated legislative strategy on jobs and the economy that builds relentless pressure on Republicans as the elections approach making them vote for popular items that drive a wedge between them and their base?
...
Alright then, maybe a coordinated communications strategy with the White House?
...
Hmmm, how 'bout coordinated communications strategy amongst themselves?
...
Ookaay, perhaps agreement that they're on the same team?
...
Collective recognition that losing in November is a bad thing?
...
Yeah, I should have known better than to ask.

Right now the Dems are unorganized and heading for the cliff.  Obama has thrown in his lot with the Austerity Hysteria people.  Congress will do little to nothing ahead of the August recess on jobs, and then September rolls around and it's campaign time, and nothing will get done.

Unless something substantial changes within the next couple of weeks, the Dems are going to crash and burn in November, give the House right back to the Republicans, and then the country goes straight to hell.

Do the Dems not understand that unless they stand up for the 15 million unemployed in this country, they will lose in November?

I don't think they do.
