"American Spring"? A preview of November's elections.

[MannyGoldstein]

We'll have both houses of Congress come next January.

2016's the bigger problem. By then, the not-obviously-insane Republicans will be back in control of their party.

1. No they won't. What could the Epic Failure Party do to stop these clowns?

That would mean the GOP needs a momentary lapse of reasoning. Sorry, don't believe in miracles. They live in this deeeep pit called denial. You would have to destroy their money maker. Truth would mean even more lost seats.

They are a lose-loser party. The entire lot of them.

3. Also kinda hard to do when so many self-proclaimed Dem "leaders" are trying to stab their supporters

...and their base in the back

again...and again... and again...

6. As long as the DEA will lay off, I just might! And if I can afford to, I'll post about it ...

...on my two-tiered internet, where the NSA will routinely sweep the information...

4. We can win November if we work hard. But it's not a given

[TreasonousBastard]

7. Only 5 replies in this thread and already...

more complaints about the party than working for the party.

Good thing DU isn't the party.

9. It's strange, isn't it?

8. I believe we can keep the Senate.

And I like our chances in 2016, but don't think we should take it for granted by any means.

But honest question, and I'm not trying to be negative with this:

How can we reclaim The House this time when districts have been so Gerrymandered? Midterm election turnout favoring Repubs aside, they've seriously rigged the game in The House. Is there a realistic shot?

That said, we should absolutely fight for every House seat we can get, and we absolutely must keep the Senate.

11. I agree ... especially when the progressive wind is felt even in Georgia

This state ... long a bastion of right wing banality ... is aching for a change. You can feel it. It is ripening, but has not ripened yet. With some focus by the Democratic party, a bit of money, a bit of organizational help, some amazing things could happen here.

If we have opportunities in Georgia (and we do), we have opportunities everywhere.
