Democratic Enthusiasm Craters

In fact, as Guy Benson writes, Democratic enthusiasm has dropped to GOP 2008-levels.

That's from Gallup, which finds exactly what you'd expect looking back at the last few elections: the most enthusiastic side often wins.

The survey was a little vaguer on what's causing Democratic enthusiasm to plunge, but I'll take a guess. It could be that the Lightbringer turned out out to be a big fat failure.

It can't be helping that the President has been bleating about "context" for the past two weeks. The wizards over at the RNC are happy to help with that; they're encouraging everyone to watch Obama's "you didn't build that" statement in full.

The context is almost worse than "you didn't build that" in isolation. Look at his face when he mocks successful business owners for having the audacity to think that they were smart. The balls on this guy.
