CAMBRIDGE, Md. — House Democrats on Friday launched what they dubbed a “Drive for 25” to recapture the majority they lost last November.

The chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Rep. Steve Israel (N.Y.), unveiled the new slogan at the caucus’s annual retreat in Maryland. The phrase refers to the 25 seats the party needs to take back the House in 2012.

“My central job is to help us make it back to the majority, because when we make it back to the majority we can help the middle class make it here,” Israel told reporters at a press conference, where he appeared alongside Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the rest of the caucus high command.

He laid out a two-pronged strategy for Democrats in the minority.

“We’re going to offer constructive, thoughtful, economic proposals to grow jobs like 'Make It in America,'” Israel said, “and two, we are going to hold Republicans accountable when they do not support the interests of middle class and working families in this country.”

1. Why don't just BECOME Republicans? Then they can easily win any Diebold/ES&S-run election!

Stupids.

2. "Because we can't have a Congress comprised of corporate errand-runners!"

Oh, wait...
