James, here is your gumbo!

Other than sharing a favorite pro football team Carvel and I agree on little. But he is right in his warning here. Yo Jackassea, against a very weak Republican you can get your ass kicked.

Carville: Wake up Democrats; you could lose


(CNN) -- A long time ago a great three-time governor of Louisiana, Earl Long, said about Jimmie Davis, the two-time not very good governor of Louisiana, "You couldn't wake up Jimmie Davis with an earthquake."


As I go around the country and see various Democrats and talk to them on the phone, honestly I'm beginning to think that we have become the party of Jimmie Davis.


My message is simple: WTFU. Translated -- wake the you-know-what up, there is an earthquake.


You think that Democrats around the country are going to win -- as I hear time and time again from people on the street.


Democratic fundraisers, activists, supporters, and even politicians alike have somehow collectively lapsed into the sentiment that the president is going to be reelected and that we have a good shot to take the House back while holding the Senate.


I ask: What are you smoking? What are you drinking? What are you snorting or just what in the hell are you thinking?


Look around the world -- do you see any governments or incumbents winning any elections out there? Did it happen in small elections in Germany or Britain, big elections in France and Greece or how about huge elections in the United States in 2008 and 2010? Please folks -- wake up!


The polling? Not that encouraging. The latest Democracy Corps poll was 47-47. The Real Clear Politics average of polls has the president up a whopping three-tenths of a percentage point. And I am hearing the garbage that Democratic donors are telling Democratic fundraisers ..."Obama has it in the bag."

News flash for you James the polls ain't that good. They often are titled with a heavy Democratic sample or show "all voter" as opposed to "likely voters".

...So, fellow Democrats -- we've got a fight on our hands. We've got to fight in the same way that the people we care most about have fought for quite some time. They have been crushed by high health care costs, soaring education costs, stagnant wages and financial bailouts for irresponsible firms.

Funny James, but you and yours are greatly responsible for that.

He rants on about a few things but he is right that many Dems don't realize they are in such a weak position. Right now the election is the Republicans to lose and they are making the effort. Romney is a pathetic candidate and just like in 2008 I look as the men running and I ask "Is this the best we have to offer?"

I fear for the republic.
