2012 will be a great opportunity to take back the House.

For a few reasons, the upcoming election will have a great potential to flip the House. There are a lot of first-term representatives, which are much easier to pick off. It is also likely to be an anti-incumbency election. Obama is still relatively popular compared to House members, which will lead to more Democrats being voted for.

What we need now is a class of strong candidates to come in and flip the close districts.

1. I'm 80% sure this opportunity has already been squandered.

Only a strong push from Congressional Dems, clearly re-establishing our brand and commitment to core principles, will salvage our chances.

2. You are right. Now is the time to set the frame and have leaders

stand up.

3. Candidates and GOTV workers.

Both will be needed.

4. that might be true,but the redistricting is in the hands of the state legislating

bodies....

A ton of them went GOP in 2010 and they will draw the districts.
