Showing Original Post only (View all)Officially: Dems piclk up 10 seats from republicans in the congress. [View all]
Not too bad considering the amazing amount of republican Gerrymandering in swing states after the 2010 elections....Because of that gerrymandering it's going to be tough for the Dems to get the house back - We ALL have to show up in 2014 to stand a chance.

Moderates are gone from the republican party. The party is left with extremists.

We didn't pick status quo, politicians picked their voters, drew lines around them.

Wishful thinking but it's possible you could see some shifts in gerrymandered districts
