Really can't figure this out...

Why, why... can't the Dems take back the house? We've been hearing and hearing how this do-nothing - obstructionist - House, has to go. Why aren't they going??? Surely there are enough spots open to take the house back. What are some of your ideas as to why the GOP has such a lock on keeping the house. I am befuddled, really!

1. Incumbents are reelected

at a 90% rate. People dont like congress but they always think THEIR guy/gal is the diamond in the rough.

2. The aftermath of the 2010 Midterms

Led to re-districting to advantage the Republicans.

3. 2000 ELECTIONS, "Impeachment isn't on the table "

And the deadly combo of the 1% & Teabaggers who help send opportunists to Washington.

4. We can win the house. The gop redrew the maps in the south and made it harder on us, but we can...

... still win. Remember these pundits are not paying as close attention to the house. So when they talk about the house they are speaking the gop talking points.

5. Fired Up!

I have been hearing all kinds of Republican ads here in Missouri for US House races. I don't really remember this happening so much before...I am hoping this sudden influx of money into Republican House races is an indication of big trouble for November elections.
