They said that with his long career in Washington and role in leading the party in the 1990s and again recently, Mr. Boehner could easily be painted as representing the old-style Republican rule that turned voters off in 2006 and 2008. Democrats say his long tenure could also diminish enthusiasm among coach bags activists and others who want to clean house in the House.
Democrats also hope that by treating Mr. Boehner as the new head of the party, they can drive a wedge between him and other ambitious Republicans who see the coming election as their moment to shine as well, causing friction and disharmony on the issues. coach pureses
They already claimed some success, noting that Mr. Boehner’s comments on a potential compromise on tax cuts floated on Sunday were not immediately echoed on Monday by colleagues like Representative coach handbags of Kentucky, the Republican leader in the Senate.
Finally, with news organizations and other groups closely examining Mr. Boehner’s background and record because of his potential rise to power, Democrats say they have laid the groundwork for using any potentially damaging material that turns up by putting Mr. Boehner in the spotlight. christian louboutin

“It comes with the territory,” Mr. Boehner said during a recent meeting with reporters. “They are trying every way possible to make this election about something other than them.

With a recent poll showing Mr. Boehner largely unknown to the public, turning him into a major liability seems like a formidable task for Democrats. And for much of Mr. Obama’s first two years in office, with Republicans having no high-profile leader in office, Democrats had aimed most of their fire at Mr. McConnell, blaming him for stalling the Democratic agenda. christian louboutin sandals
But the Democratic National Committee evidently sees an opening. A new ad to begin running on cable television beginning Tuesday takes on Mr. Boehner over his opposition to a measure that provided money to preserve jobs of teachers and emergency workers and was partly paid for by closing a tax loophole for companies that do business overseas. coach bags
