In reply to the discussion: PPP Poll: Dems Could Win 'Sizable Majority' in House in 2014 - Pickup Opps in 49 of 61 Districts [View all]I'm a white female living in the DFW metroplex, but have lived near Fort Hood, and 12 years in Winston-Salem (NC)....
I think you have a valid point, best way to turn southern states dem, have white women run in the really red districts (aka, white, male teahadist controlled). You would get women jumping to dems... esp after the laws against womens right to abortion and voting (ALL your documentation must have the same nsme or no voting for you)
However, There are some districts that have large minority populations that can win... and they should definitely try and get minorities for those seats!

I really doubt that the ideologues in the Teapublican Party will be able to contain themselves.

Cutting SS will flip this, as could the TPP, more war, or any of the many issues Americans are far

The GOP is making the mistake of appealing to a loud-mouthed fringe movement in their party.

First, we need to stand strong & defend SS & MC or we will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
