Democrats Open Big Lead in Generic Ballot
Another interesting tidbit from the new Quinnipiac poll:
"Looking at the 2014 Congressional races, voters pick a generic Democrat over a generic Republican candidate 43% to 34%, the widest Democratic margin measured so far."

(1,309 posts)repubs do what they are made to do. Lets take this opportunity to get rid of Gerrymandering to keep the democrats connected to the people rather than insulating them if they take control of the House. It is obvious how bad the effects of gerrymandering are as revealed by the Teabagger actions in the House but we must guard against this ever happening again by either parry by ridding ourselves of the Gerrymandering that very much enables our politicians of both parties to serve the rich at the expwnse of the people with no worry of losing their cushy jobs or the perks provided by their rich donors.
It is time to put democrats on record as being against Gerrymandering and promising to rid us of this crime against democracy. If we wait until they accomplish their own Gerymandering , it will be too late.

This makes me feel better.
