Dr. Ada Fisher: Looking at the 2010 midterm elections

image

Contrary to expressed opinion, the 2010 midterm elections were both a referendum on the Obama Administration as well as the ability of the Democratic Party to hold its fragile coalitions together and mobilize their base. Democrats employed a cloak and dagger strategy with an okey-doke philosophy to downplay their numbers and what they wanted out of this. The Tea Party Movement of center right conservatives of all stripes took the Democrats and Republicans off of their game plan in an unpredictable disorganized non-coordinated fashion.

While candidates struggled for money, Obama sat on his $150 million surplus from the 2008 Presidential Campaign in likely anticipation of a 2012 run where he would have problems generating the same level of funds raised in 2008. Rather than appreciate the messages of the Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News stations, etc. simply for what they were — dissenting opinions; Obama the democrat went on the defense making the American people the enemy, seeing racism in any opposition to a black president with a supportive pile on expressed from the previously traditional media, and letting the President show his true colors in noting “We won and you loss,” or “They need to get to the back of the bus” or definitions of those who opposed his policies as “the enemy.”

The GOP’s Latino Connection

In the long-running contest to win Latino voters’ hearts and minds, the Republican Party jumped out to a stunning lead this month.

And for a party saddled with leaders displaying more than a few retrograde impulses these days — on immigration and even the landmark Civil Rights Act — that’s no small accomplishment.

Consider the recent string of Latino Republicans to triumph in GOP primaries in three states over the last few weeks: In California, appointed Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado won his six-way Republican primary with 43% of the vote and the right to fight for a full term this fall. In Nevada, former federal judge Brian Sandoval — a George W. Bush appointee — knocked off incumbent Gov. Jim Gibbons to win the GOP gubernatorial nomination.

And in New Mexico — perhaps the most illustrative proving ground for this new Latino Republican winning streak — not only did local prosecutor Susana Martinez win a hard-fought GOP primary for governor, but businessman and former state Rep. John Sanchez easily defeated the primary competition for lieutenant governor.

Today we begin a journey together to restore the California Dream for all Californians. The incumbent politicians have engaged in generational theft. These politicians have spent, borrowed, and taxed the opportunities away for so many Californians. It is incumbent upon me to stand up and fight so that others may have the same opportunities that I’ve experienced. If not me, then who? If not now, then when?
