Greene, the Democratic Senate candidate in South Carolina, earned his last turn in the headlines of today with what apparently was his first real campaign event, a speech to a local branch of the NAACP that attracted media attention national for all the wrong reasons to the extent that Democrats are worried.

Vice President Joe Biden the Obama brought back to the message today, saying on ABC's "This Week" that Democrats "shock the heck out of everyone" this fall - and cling to the House of Representatives and the Senate.

His comments came a week after the White House, Robert Gibbs, Press Secretary lit a fuse that had been threatening to burn for months, admitting that the Democrats may end up losing control of the House in November.

The beating public and private and deterioration that followed followed a predictable course. The content of the comments of Gibbs was not particularly controversial, he was acknowledging what every impartial, nonpartisan observer has been saying for months
