American Thinker Blog: Obama goes from radiant to radioactive: "After the 2008 election, Obama basked in a triumph of superlatives that would have made a Caesar returning for the barbarian wars blush, so thickly did the media slather on the paeans to semi-divine political status In 2010, it is starting to look like Obama may be worse than deadly Caesium-137 to incumbent Democrats.
James Geraghty at NRO's Campaign Spot writes that the Cook Political Report is now reporting that Obama has become so unpopular in the hinterland that multiple term Democrat Congressmen like Ike Skelton (MO-04, first term began in 1977), John Spratt (SC-05, first term in 1983), Bart Gordon (TN-06, 1985), John Tanner (TN-08 since 1989) and Rick Boucher (VA-09 since 1983) may be in for the political fight of their lives should they run for reelection and draw serious challengers. Cook describes Obama's status in these districts as 'beyond radioactive.' What makes this assessment particularly stunning is that Botcher and Gordon drew no Republican challenger in 2008, Tanner's opponent was totally disavowed by the local Republican Party and Spratt and Skelton won landslide victories with well over 60% of the vote."
