11. They don't need a majority

Across the US to make us all miserable. They just need it in winnable House Districts.

NJ - 7th will not care one lick - they will still vote for Leonard Lance (R- NJ7) next November . . . and he's starting to come across as flat out gung ho for a shutdown. He'll use this to get them to come out next year.

Sorry - can't be that positive. 18 flat out hang ups calling for the Gov's race last night from possible voters.

This is a country where a belligerent bully (Christie) is revered. House Republicans will be applauded for this by their base. The "I'm against Obama" crowd will love it. And those people vote.
