in the 2014 midterms. Then there are important state and local contests. We need to take back some of those 30 governorships that they hold.

The problem with the House is the districts are so damn gerrymandered now to ensure that conservatives are overrepresented in Congress. There are probably, what, 20 battleground districts? I suggest donate money in those districts and spend the rest of our resources in protecting our Senate majority.
