I think your assessment is wrong, and I'll be working to gain 2 seats here in Minnesota that are currently held by Republicans. There's a pretty good chance of success, too. What will you be working on in the quest to regain control of Congress for Democrats? Or, will you simply use your belief that there is no chance to justify not engaging in the 2014 campaigns?

GOTV 2014!
