A straw dog is a false image that is made for the sole purpose of being destroyed.  The most recent version of this is the straw dog of the racist Tea Party.  That is patently absurd, but it still appeals to Democrats who want to believe this kind of stuff.

Democrats are approaching pure panic with regard to the midterm elections.  This administration has managed the impossible achievement of appearing ruthlessly corrupt and irredeemable incompetent at the same time.  When you combine this with mind numbing arrogance it is developing into the perfect political storm.

Democrats will resort to attack ads accusing Republicans of almost everything.  Republicans only need to run one ad saying that Obama sucks and that if you elect them they will stop him. That is one issue where voters will believe them.

There are always surprises in any election.  In 2012 Obama probably would have lost if it wasn’t for Hurricane Sandy and the “bromance” with Chris Christie that helped him look Presidential.  Democrats can’t count on another convenient hurricane.  In addition people now know that Obama didn’t do any better with regard to Hurricane Sandy than Bush did with regard to Hurricane Katrina.

If anything most of the potential surprises are all bad for Obama.  I wonder if Democrats have considered what will happen if there is one case of Ebola in the U.S. and it even looks like this may have come across our Southern Border.  If that happens the outrage will be instant and obvious and “throw the bums out” will become a national movement.

In the meantime watch for Democrats in desperate search of a straw dog they can blame.  Just this week liberals tried desperately to blame all our current problems on Richard Nixon.  Richard Nixon!  Like I said, Democrats are starting to show signs of pure panic.
