Conyers:House in Play

[cal04]

For those of you who missed it, the mainstream prognosticator Stuart Rothenberg has officially "put the House in play" for November. I think we knew all along, that with the GOP's agenda in tatters, and the President pulling the GOP down like an anvil, that the chances for not only Democratic pick-ups, but an outright change in control was strong. I sense it in Michigan and when ever I travel outside of the Beltway. But its good that the "inside the Beltway" pundits have woken up to reality as well. That doesn't mean its a sure thing, it will take a monumental effort to push back against right wing smear and voter suppression tactics. But the race is on, and its one we intend to win this November.

Rothenbenberg's key conclusion finds, "We believe that the House definitely is “in play,” and the key to whether Republicans can maintain control is whether they can discredit individual Democratic challengers who otherwise would be positioned to win. We are increasing our estimate of likely Democratic gains from 5-8 seats to 7-10 seats (they need to net 15 seats for control), with a bias toward even greater Democratic gains."

1. I like Conyers...

But what else is he supposed to say? "Things are looking bad for us Dems, you're probably better off staying home." He's right, though. We've always known the House is a better takeover opportunity than the Senate.

How about the truth. I feel so sorry for those who have grown so accustomed to the Rushes, the Hannity's, etc., that they can't even recognize the truth anymore.

Democrats don't have to spin. The truth is on their side.
