We tend to scrabble about for good news during trying times, and these are very trying times, so I’m delighted to share some of that good stuff for a change:

. Good News Item Numero Uno: Add this item to the many other signs that conscious Americans are finally waking up to our pretend president and his pretensions to the presidency: The Millennials are Jumping Ship!

I admit, not being a millennial, that I didn’t know the meaning of the word and discovered it refers to those Americans between 18 and 29. More importantly, a Pew survey shows they are abandoning Obama at a rapid clip.

That demographic joins many others just a year after Obamamania swept the planet, swept the Indie vote, and, of course, the Dem and Black votes. That last constituency is still firmly ensconced in Obama’s column but all the others are in various degrees of peril.

The Pew Research Center study “says that the Democrats’ advantage over Republicans with [the Millennials] has dramatically shrunk from a 32 point margin in 2008 to 14 points,” although the bulk of that Republican gain are “leaners.” Dems are still favored by Mils and the margins for Gen X-ers and Boomers are statistically insignificant: http://bit.ly/cF4qCW

All the numbers are a far cry from a year ago when Obamania was in full bloom.

As of now, should trends continue, the elections 9 months and 33 months from now may represent 1994 and 2000 reduxes, respectively–unless Republicans shoot themselves in their feet with internal dissension.
