1. If the pukes
Edited on Thu May-26-11 12:53 PM by sharp_stick
continue to push their kill medicare idiocy there might be a shot for a few anyhow. Just find the districts with a lot of old republicans in them and run Ryans own words in every ad. Teabaggers are all for cuttin' shit until it's shit they happen to use.

2. The backlash cometh.
I'm hoping for the best.

If the remaining Democrats comport themselves like DEMOCRATS,
we will show a unified, pro-worker force in Washington.

Then, in 2012, we will reap the benefits.

Maybe Mr. Grayson will get sent back to DC...

3. Some of those seats will be tough to get back
We lost Chris Carney in PA-10. The only reason he won that district 4 years earlier was because his opponent, long time reprsentative Don Sherwood-R, was caught beating his mistress. Sherwood figured the district was so fricking red he could be an asshole and still win.

He barely squeaked by in 2010 but I knew he says would be numbered.

5. There's really no place in the current Democratic party for progressives
There's no need to help push a platform of single payer healthcare, a national jobs program, ending military occupations, torture, raising wages, increasing social spending, etc. when it doesn't exist.

6. Republicans replaced the blue dogs.
That's how the House was lost.
