Slog - Comments on The Other Big Story for 2008 http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/in_celebration_of_orgiastic_2008_horce_r Posted by Ryan S. Jackson Lost among bigger headlines yesterday was an announcement by the House Democratic leadership that many of their vulnerable incumbents may be on their own financially—because the House Democrats intend to pour money into targeting 40 Republican seats, an ambitious plan that will almost certainly include Washington's own Republican Rep. Dave Reichert of Bellevue. Dueling reports from wonk-heavy sources tell the tale of two sides going in very opposite directions: The Politico's report on the new Democratic plan dovetails with The Hill's report on hand-wringing among the House Republican leadership as they come up short for...

The wave is coming.

Nothing can stop it.

If they can do that, AND win the big seats, they'll be in one hell of a good position for many years to come.


Who knows? We might even see them using their power to do something. Not that the last 10 months haven't been encouraging.

There are many moderate republicans who are good for this country. Bush absolutely not included, but 94-98 weren't exactly terrible years in governance.

In swing states it was close in this past year. . .and those Dems not having enough money to save their own seats makes it a bit moot, doesn't it?

Nah, never happen here.

I'm worried that we're getting too cocky. Keep sending money, guns and lawyers!
