But with unemployment high, the voters want Democratic ideas, not less.

Brian: Wait a minute, weren’t you the guy that said ideas and ideals weren’t important, but pragmatism was? You know, in response to the contention that Obama hasn’t followed through on quite a few of his campaign promises, especially those dealing with the preservation of our civil liberties.
With unemployment high, the voters want JOBS. Screw ideas. Ideas don’t put food on the table or pay the bills. Unless and until the Dems figure out the job problem, they’re foursquare in the voter’s sights. You’re seeing this now, with the rapidity of Obama’s slide in popularity. Whether its right or wrong, people are now holding him responsible for the state of the economy.
