OBAMA CONTROVERSIES MAY AFFECT 2014 DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE RECRUITMENT.............

Stuart Rothenberg, one of the leading researchers and analysts of American politics and government is delivering preliminary reports on whether the current problems plaguing the Obama Administration will slow the Democrats chances in the 2014 midterm elections.  Particularly, in regards to strong, especially viable recruitment of candidates for the U.S. Senate, Governorships, and seats in Congress. With the President and his Administration cause to deal with continuing follow-out from the attack on Benghazi, Libya; eight and a half months ago, and the disclosure of Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative Tea Party style groups, as well as the Justice Department wiretapping recordings of phone calls by reporters of the Associated Press, full focus on the Obama Administration's second term Agenda is being diverted.  However, Rothenberg - an acute and accurate assessor of such circumstances on the political landscape finds as of now it is too early to project if it will have an adverse impact on Democratic prospects to generate preferred high profile candidates in critical races.  The Democrats success at recruiting such candidates as their nominees for the U.S. Senate in 2006, 2008, and 2012, led them to victories they otherwise may not have gone them.  Republicans had like success in the 1994, 2002, and 2010 elections, for the U.S. House and Senate.  So the weather vane of public opinion and political consequences stays up to determine the prospects of both parties as they position themselves for Campaign 2014 over the next year.............Fr.  Troy
