If calling the national Democratic party feeble led to Democrats spending a lot more money Montana

Then I salute Bernie Sanders for saying that. Under Deborah Wasserman Schultz, of course, everything was going great, except we were losing and senators, representatives, house districts, etc.

And I sure agree with Bernie and Howard Dean in mounting a full throated 50-state strategy.

like Atlanta. Here in Georgia 6, we're hoping that the blue island will grow. We don't have to take the whole state to make a difference. Maybe the reason Georgia 6 liked Newt Gingrich was the he's the Republican version of a geeky intellectual.

If you are going to post a thread about the Senator from Vermont, please include his name in the subject line. It helps me autohide them.

not Schultz. It is really annoying to repeatedly see her blamed for things that happened under her predecessor. She was there for the elections of 2012 (where we gained house seats, gained senate seats, and won the Presidency) and the election of 2014 where we lost house seats and lost the Senate. There are many things she can be faulted for, but losing the House isn't one of them.
