The numbers are slowly rising. Here's hoping our Dem leaders learn that fighting back works.

1. 53% is not enough to assure an election can not be stolen

2. True, but the trend is promising

Dems need a safe margin of victory, probably 5-10% or more.

Hopefully, these results will encourage party leaders to stay visible and keep up the coordinated message strategy.

3. You do know about VA, NJ and CA 05 right?

We need election reforms, but 05 proves we can win elections.

4. was probably also true in 2004

Thanks to the way Congress is set up, it's very easy for a majority of Americans to vote for Democrats and still have a Republican majority.

Democratic senators represent more people than Republican senators, even though there are only 44 of them.

So we need to look at numbers in specific states and districts, not national ones.
