Vice President Joe Biden said today that if Democrats were to lose 35 House seats they currently hold in traditionally Republican districts, it would mean doomsday for President Obama’s agenda.
Biden said Republicans are pinning their political strategy on flipping these seats.
“If they take them back, this the end of the road for what Barack and I are trying to do,” the vice president said at a fundraiser for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) today in Greenville, Delaware.
Giffords, Giffords, Giffords: where have we heard that name before? Right: she was one of the Democrats who ran and hid from her constituents during the August town halls. As I recall, she was so scared of them that she only felt safe on a military base – which was an impressive display of cowardice, even for a Blue-in-Red Democratic Member of Congress.
Yes, definitely, she needs to be one of the Thirty-Five. I’m thinking that it’s going to be Jesse Kelly for this one: his website is here and you can contribute here.

Now THAT’S motivation!
In the interest of accuracy, Representative Giffords did hold three townhall meetings in the district around the end of August. She had one on August 31 and two on September 1. All were well attended.
In the interest of accuracy, Giffords had to be forced into meeting her responsibilities. The fact that she had to be more or less dragged out from hiding and… made to stand in a room and listen to her constituents… does not excuse the fact that she hid in the first place.
:Holding up hand: Please be advised that I don’t particularly care for pedantry that I don’t initiate myself, or that doesn’t amuse me. Giffords is a coward. That’s the message. Say “Yes, Moe” and move on.
