MAP: HOW THE GOP COULD LOSE THE HOUSE IN 2014

[sheshe2]

New PPP surveys in GOP-held House districts, commissioned by MoveOn.org Political Action and conducted in the wake of the government shutdown, show Republicans are in serious danger in 29 of the 36 districts polled--making it clear that Republicans could easily lose control of the House if the next election were held today. Democrats must net 17 seats to reclaim the House. The surveys challenges the conventional wisdom that gerrymandering has put the House out of reach for Democrats and indicates the shutdown has significant electoral implications.

1. GOTV 2014!

Do it!

[A Little Weird]

2. Nice to see!

I really hope we can get Andy Barr out of the KY 6th. There's so much focus on the senate race that I don't hear a lot about this one but I think Elisabeth Jensen looks like a fine candidate. Of course I think anyone would be better than Barr.

3. Unfortunately

Democrats don't seem to making an issue out of this.

I doubt Karl Rove would miss this opportunity, but for some reason the Democrats don't seem to be interested.

[Jim Lane]

10. Why the Democrats aren't making an issue of it

Most people aren't political junkies on the level of DU (or even Free Republic). Millions of voters simply don't remember much about the shutdown. The media mantra of being "balanced" -- meaning that truth and falsehood are given equal prominence -- has left people blaming the shutdown on "partisan gridlock" rather than on Republican obstructionism.

19. I don't think it is just about the shutdown..

.... I think people are sick of a do-nothing congress and they know which party is most to blame for it.

I've been thinking for a while now, based on governors and special elections races, that the idea that the Repubs have this locked up is bullshit.

[pinto]

4. A caveat. Polling was done a year ago. October, 2013. Most hold true today, yet things change. GOTV.

Just a GOTV heads up!

[dragonlady]

7. Thanks for adding this

In Wisconsin, the long-term Republican in WI-6 has retired since then and a real wingnut won the primary last month. He has a good Democratic opponent, but it is a rather gerrymandered district. We'll have to see what happens. GOTV absolutely!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. That's why the Grand Old Cowards did that last year

You think they'd try it now? You think they'd DARE even mention it in a Presidential cycle?

They live and die by the low info voter with short fucking memories to pull their bullshit.

[Beaverhausen]

5. I miss Howard dean's 50 state strategy

[SoapBox]

8. Agreed.

So do we have a strategy? Other than GOTV?

[flamingdem]

6. K+R

g o t v !!!!

[Gothmog]

11. I would love to see the GOP lose the house

[Kablooie]

12. Dream on silly dreamer.

Maybe if we wish upon a star ... Jennifer Lawrence?

[Cal33]

13. Sure hope this will come true!

[brooklynite]

14. I've spoke to 20 House candidates...NONE see a way for us to take back the House in '14.

Probably not before 2020.

[blkmusclmachine]

15. Make it so! Get out and VOTE, because the Teabaggers sure will be...

[mndemsocialist]

16. Re: Democratic strategy

I do not have cable or satellite, so you need to tell me:

I envision a series of national Democratic Party commercials which would illustrate the crazy, extreme things that Republican politicos have done or said. The tag line, "Why would anyone vote for these clowns?"

Is this being done, and if not, why the H*ll not?

Are even the individual candidates in your areas doing this regarding their GOP opponents?

If not, what is the Democratic Party afraid of?

[brooklynite]

17. UNREC

There MAY be prospects to pick up seats, but if you look at the background of the polling, the voter is given a choice of the Republican or "his Democratic opponent" (unnamed). Unfortunately, "his Democratic opponent" won't be on the ballot. Show me real head to head data and I'll consider it.

[davidpdx]

18. The polling data is old, October 2013

I wouldn't put a lot of stock in those numbers.

RCP has some data for the House seats, but not a lot:
