Anyone can snipe that the "August Surprise," was probably a blessing for the Democrats in the Midterms. As the White House was explaining at the Hanoi Helicopter(?), press conference August 9: "This turnaround is going to take some time, in this security environment!(?)." An "October Surprise" would likely not have helped, much. Osama bin laden had bailed out the U. S. economy, years ago, flying jetliners into tall buildings in City of New York. ISIS atrocities may not do that, but may keep Washington, D. C. safely majority Democrat.
About this time last month, PEW research had asked the question:
"Do you think the U.S. has a responsibility to do something about the violence in Iraq, or doesn't the U.S. have this responsibility?"
Only 48% of Republicans seemed to think so. 45% of them did not. Only 35% of Democrats thought seemed to think that the violence in Iraq required a U. S. response. 61% did not. That was close to the overall response. 39% were for a response, 55% were not.
The Republican "Establishment" seems to have quelled a revolt within their ranks in the primaries. That tends to be reflected, now, in lower GOP enthusiasm for any Midterms voting. Now the White House has taken a leadership position, helicopters and flags in appearance. The Republican candidates have no apparent, foreign policy issue. The President has done something about the violence in Iraq. ACA seems to be better liked.
Apparently only so far in Montana, were any of the Democrats cheating on their exams(?)--a relevant issue in the national agenda. . .at some newspapers.
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Maybe now real black go to a mountaintop, and actually set some people free(?)! It is still not clear if the Clintons ever did this(?)!)
