Retiring Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) is making sense, tells reporters that poor handling of the health care law, which he voted for, cost President Obama dearly.
“I’ll be real frank here. I think that the manner in which the health-care reform issue was put in front of the Congress, the way that the issue was dealt with by the White House, cost Obama a lot of credibility as a leader. … If you were going to do something of this magnitude, you have to do it with some clarity, with a clear set of objectives from the White House. …It should have been done with better direction from the White House. … What happened in the end was five different congressional committees voted out their version of health-care reform, and so you had 7,000 pages of contradictory information. Everybody got confused. … From that point forward, Obama’s had a difficult time selling himself as a decisive leader.”
So much is made of Republicans losing the female vote we sometimes forget to talk about Democrats losing the male vote.
“Romney’s best hope, in my opinion, would be a return to the 2004 George W Bush gender coalition: a small deficit among women and an 11-point victory among men.” — Harry J Enten, The Guardian

“During the past six months, the more dramatic change in presidential preference has been among men, not women. In October, Gallup’s national poll found that Obama led Romney by 14 points among women (54 percent to 40 percent). That margin shrunk only slightly, to 12 points, in March. But among men, Romney’s 16-point advantage in October shrunk to just 3 points in March.” — Stuart Rothenberg, Roll Call
