We can use this to take back the House in '14...IF our "strategists" have the guts to do so.

It's still possible, given the mindset at the DCCC, that they may decide that it's just "too partisan" to fight to win.

If they do, we'll have to find out how to do it WITHOUT them.

Not surprising. Some of our "leaders" are comfortable with permanent minority status. Ken Burch Oct 2013 #2

word "republican" once. He said "we" have caused a problem, etc. It was ridiculous. When Ed pointed out that Boener was badmouthing the Dems today after the deal was negotiated, saying that Dems only want to raise taxes, Hoyer still wouldn't actually name the republican party as the ones being unreasonable. He did change from the "we" (in which he included the Dems in the responsibility for this mess) to "they" a couple of times. I think that's about all we can count on.

I don't think Hoyer actually wants the Democratic Party to ever win. He's just fine with the status quo staying in place forever. SO are a lot of the folks on the DCCC.
