AT LEAST ZELIG DIDN'T TALK IN ALL THOSE APPEARANCES:

President Obama's overexposure helped GOP's victories (MICHAEL J. HUDOME, 11/5/09, Politico)

Here’s a simple, yet overlooked explanation for Republican victories in the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races this week: President Barack Obama is overexposed.

No longer does his base find it interesting to see or hear from its ubiquitous president.

Obama is on television all the time. You can’t swing a dead cat without seeing a video clip or photo or hearing his voice. 24/7.

It’s a permanent campaign, the likes of which our country has never seen.

He’ll talk about anything, from “Dad’s need to go back to school” to “We must get the Olympics for Chicago.”

The other day the eldest wanted to stay home from school with the sniffles: "Obama told us we should not go to school if we're the least bit sick."
