Biden: GOP wins would be "end of the road" for White House agenda

By GottaLaff

2010 is one election we better save our pennies for, donate to, and win:

Vice President Joe Biden on Monday said if Republicans succeed in winning back the House in 2010, it would be the "end of the road" for the White House's agenda.

We'll win it, but we can't take that for granted. No relaxing allowed!

At a fundraiser for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), Biden said the prospects for change rest with about 35 Democrats who sit in districts Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) won in the 2008 election. It is those seats, Biden said, that are the GOP's leading targets. [...]

"If they take [those seats] back, this is the end of the road for what Barack and I are trying to do," Biden said, referring to President Obama. "This is their one shot. If they don't break the back of our effort in this upcoming election, you're going to see the things we said we're for, happen."

If that doesn't inspire you to get active, nothing will. Where's my wallet? Where's my keyboard? Where's my cell phone?

Republicans would have to win back 41 seats to secure 218 total, enough to wrest the speaker's gavel from Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

"What didn’t seem possible just a few months ago, appears to be the topic of conversation even within the upper echelons of the Obama White House," said Ken Spain, communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Um, eeks?

Biden said Republicans are "moribund in terms of ideas" and had not offered reasonable alternatives to the nation's problems. "It’s not that Republicans are bad guys. This is just the bet they’ve made," Biden said.

And yet, we're concerned that they might win the House. Imagine what a challenge this would be if they were productive.
