Dems Have a Shot at Taking Back the House; Poll

Democrats Have A Shot At Taking Back The House As Republican Popularity Continues To Drop: Poll

"From what I've read"--(standard nomenclature for a FredHayek source-free post)--this is the third such poll that says the Dems have a serious chance to pick up the required 17 seats in 2014.

PLEASE...Jus' keep doin' what yer doin'.....

Of course power hungry Democrats or Republicans will control the house....

These videos go on and on. Big govt supporters even sign petitions liberally to repeal the first amendment.

If the crowd is not paying attention....it really does not even matter who is playing....or if they even play....except to the announcers....get it?

Dems could take back the House but they will need to spend a lot to defeat entrenched incumbents.
In 2012, they made an example of Colorado, which Republican in the House here is the most vulnerable? Coffman? Lamborn?

The DNC finally beat the RNC in fundraising last quarter. They wil probably win again this quarter. Republicans are quite upset with the party for giving in to the Dems and are withholding their money. GOP donors might be looking instead to support individuals like Lamborn who refused to sign onto the latest CR.

ACA

American Chiropractic Association? Is that what you need after spending hours on the HHS website staring at the monitor, waiting for your Obamacare login?

It would be fun to see the chaos of a whole bunch of third parties elected. New people who don't know all the unwritten rules in DC.
And to see who they would caucus with.

Maybe even more fantastical - that they'd vote in a large number of independents to break the idiotic stranglehold the Reps and Dems have had that lets them get away with useless partisan rhetoric and bickering until they accomplish nothing at all?

Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top??!!

Probably too much to ask at the National level. I'm fed up with both parties too, most likely will vote Libertarian or not bother to vote at all. Either way it won't matter.

At the state and local level I think you have a better chance, slightly better.

There are many more GOTP donors that are upset by the Kamikaz4 Caucus and are waiting for the adults to take the party back before donating...

Majority Of Americans Think It's 'Bad For The Country' That Republicans Control The House

A majority of Americans think it is bad for the country that Republicans control the House of Representatives, and even more want House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to be replaced by another Republican, according to a CNN/ORC International poll released Monday.

Fifty-four percent think it's bad that Republicans control the House, the poll found. That's up from 43 percent in December 2012, during the last fiscal standoff. The figure is the first time a majority thought Republican control was bad for the country since CNN started asking in December 2010. Sixty-three percent of respondents want Boehner replaced, but by another Republican, which would not change GOP control of the House.

The poll is yet another sign that the government shutdown has hurt the Republican party. An NBC/WSJ poll taken during the shutdown showed that 24 percent of people approved of the party, a record low. Gallup measured another record low for the GOP, with 28 percent approving. A poll released Sunday funded by Moveon.org and conducted by the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling showed that incumbent Republicans trailed generic Democrats in 15 of 25 competitive House districts.
