I haven’t blogged a single post in almost a month. Unlike the vast majority of political aficionados out there the closer to an election one gets the less I write because frankly there isn’t much to be said that hasn’t already been said. I get tired of the political advertisements especially. Besides the battle lines were drawn months ago and have since solidified.

But I’m going to leave you with one good commentary, courtesy of Kimberly Strassel, prior to the election next Tuesday:

Here’s a key fact of 2010: The biggest political spender of this cycle is, as usual, a union (the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, at $90 million). Another overlooked fact: Democrats are floating in money. A recent study by the nonpartisan Center for the Responsive Politics reports that Democrats in competitive districts have raised 47% more than Republicans and spent 66% more. They’re losing for lack of credibility, not dollars.

… Mr. Obama recently explained he was so busy passing his agenda he forgot to “advertise” its benefits. “We didn’t have time to unpack it,” echoes David Axelrod. And not only are Americans ill-informed—the president explains they are too “scared” to think straight.

One or two Americans presumably managed to avoid every one of Mr. Obama’s 344 days of public interaction his first year—including 42 press conferences, 158 interviews, 23 town halls and seven campaign rallies. The rest haven’t, and that’s the Democrats’ real problem. A recent Public Opinion Strategies poll found 89% of Americans familiar enough with “ObamaCare” to rate it on a positive/negative scale. A majority said an “acceptable” outcome of this election would be repeal. Don Draper couldn’t sell this turkey.

Exactly. When the liberal idea falls flat they blame the complexity of nuance. ‘Oh, the American public just don’t get it. It’s them, not us. ‘ But there was nothing nuanced about the way they took a highly unpopular health care bill and jammed it down the throat of the public.

Just a few weeks ago the WSJ reported that McDonald’s “may be forced to cancel its current coverage for 29,500 employees as a result of ObamaCare.” It opined additionally, “the choice is between relatively affordable coverage that isn’t as generous as Democrats think it should be and dumping coverage entirely.” Put another way, perhaps when you lose McDonald’s, and all those franchise paying small business owners, you lose America.

More importantly, there’s nothing nuanced about a persistent 10 percent unemployment rate. We’ll see how much the Democratic Party is hurt by the economy in just a few days, but if this election follows history, well, the political party in power simply does not survive double digit unemployment rates. Even the hugely popular FDR, while his party survived for the first couple of elections, could not save Democrats by 1938. That year they lost 6 Senate seats and 71 House seats, prompting FDR adviser Raymond Moley to call the Republican gains, “a comeback of astounding proportions.”

Will Tuesday be another comeback of astounding proportions?
