ReadabilityJames Carvelle channels Pseudolus
On Friday I quoted Pseudolus line about telling you when it’s time to Panic, James Carvelle says its time:
People often ask me what advice I would give the White House about various things. Today I was mulling over election results from New York and Nevada while thinking about that very question. What should the White House do now? One word came to mind: Panic.
James then follows up with advice that neither impresses Smitty:
Carville writes as though this were some traditional political problem. As though BHO wasn’t well aware of what’s afoot. As though putting any pressure on Holder wouldn’t bring the Administration crashing down with a dull, rotten-wood thump. RTWT.
Nor Walter Russell Mead:
The result would show Carville what real panic looks like as stock markets collapsed worldwide, business confidence crashed, and the global economy went into a recession that dwarfed what we saw in 2008. That recession wouldn’t be President Bush’s fault; it would be seen by voters as an avoidable economic catastrophe brought on by a President who went off the rails.
What James Carvelle doesn’t understand is this isn’t a problem of perception, it’s a problem of reality. Voters aren’t rejecting Obama because they don’t know him, they are rejecting him because they finally do.

Democrats lost the House and have no hope to regain it. They still hold the Senate, but are on track to lose their grip in 2012. President Obama is the only Democrat left with any kind of chance. Obama doesn’t need to panic, even if every other Democrat does.
