I was talking on Twitter with a Democrat activist the other day.<\/p>\n

The activist and I were debating what the 2012 election would be about.<\/p>\n

I said “unemployment”. \u00a0I mean, do you really think people think they’re better off now than they were four years ago?<\/p>\n

The activist’s response: “Depends on who people think is at fault. Thinking on that seems to be shifting”.<\/p>\n

Well, the media will be doing its best to “shift” that “thinking” for the part of the electorate that doesn’t pay much attention to these things.<\/p>\n

But I think the activist was overestimating their own party. \u00a0Because I will bank on the prediction that the Democrats’ campaign will key on the folloiwng:<\/p>\n
