I hope Democrats are playing this Sandy Relief denial for all its worth.

Yes, New York and New Jersey are pretty much blue states. But there are quite a few repubican Reps in them. It would be good to follow up hard on Peter Kings notion to deny the repubs money when they come calling . . . . and to deny incumbent repub Reps from continuing to enable the hateful teabaggers.

Keep hammering on this Sandy Relief Denial. I think it could be worth a few House seats . . . . and every one matters.

The attacks from within (Gov. Christie, Rep King) are more effective, IMO. CakeGrrl Jan 2013 #1

Let the GOP call itself out and eat its own to get the ball rolling.

Republicans are set to bleed themselves out, democrats should stand back. Democrats should be ready to provide votes for relief money. The thought that I have when watching this is how any republican that lives in the Northeast could possibly feel they have common ground with rural southern and western republicans.
