Jane Hamsher, founder of the blog FireDogLake.com, told The Hill in an email Friday that the strategy being employed by the White House as polls show a Republican landslide looming is the wrong way to go.

“Hectoring your supporters doesn’t work, and it never has,” Hamsher said. “And anyone with as much campaign experience as Obama and [Vice President] Biden knows that, which is why you never saw them do it in their own races.”…

Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), said that Obama has only himself to blame for disillusioned voters who provided the winning surge in 2008.

“The 20-year-old kid who voted for Barack Obama and then saw this White House cut backroom deals with special interests instead of truly fighting for big change like the public option doesn’t need a public shaming,” Green said.
