and when 2020 comes rolling around we need to be prepared.

It was reported by Maddow last night, that he (Obama) will start a grass roots political arm to take back the congress for the census, that he had within his grass roots organization when he ran in both campaigns.

David Pakman and Maddow, O'Donnell are correct on this issue. It like the democrats had 856 total counties that they have there strengths, and now the democrats hold a 635 counties / districts, this is unsustainable and needs to be expanded.

This election and the next are really important, this country cannot sustain 15 more years of republicans holding onto the house, we might as well starting stocking up on cat food and dog food -----------in my opinion

I can't see the house going Dem until 2022 - and the reason it will is because of the 2020 census. Far too many gerrymandered districts. Far too many challenges to how districts are drawn. For every three GOP gerrymandered district, there is one Dem gerrymandered district. Yes, Dems have some also.

against citizen united, and then tackle the gerrymandering with a progressive U.S. Supreme Court, just maybe we can get this country up righted from the disaster that has been happening since 2010.

We need to get out and vote from here on out, that is the bottom line. We can't let some hypocrite sitting in some office, with a state map, drawing power up for the few, like that guy did in North Carolina or wherever it was at being an artist:
