Run, Democrats, Run! Run Away!

I recently watched Forrest Gump again and this story reminds me of the frequent admonition he got:  Run, Forrest run!

As Democrats fan out across the country to campaign for reelection this month, many are surprisingly quiet about their hard-won accomplishments — the major bills they have passed under President Obama.

In an effort coordinated with the White House, congressional leaders are urging Democrats to focus less on bragging about what they have done — a landmark healthcare law, a sweeping overhaul of Wall Street regulation and other far-reaching policy changes — and more on efforts to fix the economy and on the perils of Republican control of Congress.

The legislative "accomplishments" were passed in direct opposition to the will of the voters. No wonder they don't want anything to do with claiming credit for them. The voters are planning to punish them for passing those bills and no amount of additional bribery in the form of new stimulus bills are going to change that.
