I hope this special election puts a rest to this silly notion that the Dems will reclaim the House in 2014. They're saying that 2014 will be a more Democratic year than 2012 and that Republicans elected in the pro-Obama 2012 year will lose in a decidedly anti Obama year.
Let's just remind people what the facts are about this race:
-Alex Sink barely lost to Rick Scott in the uber-Republican 2010 year. Sink is a popular political figure in Florida.
-David Jolly is a professional lobbyist who lobbied to aid a Pakistani dictator. He is currently in a messy divorce and hangs out with his 27 year old girlfriend on the campaign trial. He also killed a person in an automobile accident, though it was when he was 16.
-The congressional district in question voted for Obama twice and for Alex Sink in her gubernatorial bid.
Alex Sink should've crushed David Jolly if this weren't a heavily anti-Obama year.
Liberals, do you still think the Dems can reclaim the House in 2014? I just don't see it.
Well, putting aside your propaganda over a narrow GOP win in FL-13, I am a Democrat and probaby the first member of USMB this year to already predict a GOP year in the mid-terms. See: posting 20.
So, exactly who is propagating this "silly notion"? Got some names?
