ST. PAUL, Minn. — Democrats could reap electoral rewards from several years of political organizing, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said, a sentiment echoed by several other prominent conservatives.

Before the 2006 congressional elections, “the left and the Democrats had spent seven years putting together one of the most powerful political coalitions that had ever been built,” DeLay said Wednesday.

“The left has been incredible. They went and decided to put resources to work,” said Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the third-ranking House Republican. “When you’re talking about the tactics, when you’re talking about the organization, ... that’s where we’re at a disadvantage.

1. They've lost and they know it

Their sudden grip on reality came a bit late though.

2. That's what happens when the convention is more like a class reunion of felons.

6. Isn't this the point where the truck full of cops pulls up

And they expose the whole thing as a scam to conveniently round up all the wanteds?

11. Their day pass has expired. Time to head back to the pokey.

3. Thank You, Howard Dean

The Doctor is IN!

4. Why is it their 8 year fuck up's become SOMETHING about the Democrats. Rince/Repeat.

[aquart]

5. Tom DeLay just reeks of change.

From picking the pockets of every working, breathing, striving American.

[Stand and Fight]

7. I LOVE YOUR SIGNATURE!

[Lorien]

13. Me too. This needs to be repeated over and over again

we need our base and a few independents. We don't need ANY repugs!

[LittleClarkie]

8. Yes indeedy

Heard a field organizer say just yesterday that he hoped the organization they were putting together for Obama would pay dividends in the future.

9. Could? COULD????

We already have reaped rewards, Mr Delay, thank you very much. Is that your parole officer calling? Better run along.

10. Damn Right! And "The Angry Left" is out to get your Right-Wing Ass!

I thought this Fascist Bastard was in jail.

[maseman]

12. Man this is REALLY telling

DeLay doesn't just say stuff like this. Set the expectations low and hope for the best?

[Doctor_J]

14. Is thos one of those "interviews from prison" like they have on A&E?

Why the fuck is this criminal engaging in punditry?

15. What a difference seven years make. Happy, happy, joy, joy! nt

16. I hope we're that organized --

but it would be a first in my lifetime.

and I'm more inclined to view it as a surge from the grass-roots.

it's clear, at least, that the Congressional Dems have done virtually nothing. We haven't even seen any real action on the voting machines, which you'd think would be a minimum requirement to be deemed to know what's going on and be dealing with it.

17. Dems have an advantage--they're not all dealing with indictments. nt

18. Thank you, Dr. Dean
