...and possibly the 113th, just maybe it will be easy for the Democrats to rise above that 8% mark in 2014 and overcome the gerrymandering problem. Oh yeah, plus more anti-American decisions by the majority GOP Supreme Court. And oh yeah, the continued changing demographics problem they are facing isn't working in their favor either. And is there any doubt how the teabagger NRA-controlled 113th Congress will handle the assault weapon & high capacity ammunition issue? Just let them vote down that legislation while more mass killings occur. The American People will NOT be in a good mood come 2014.
