Still More Problems for Republicans

CBS News:
......The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which focuses on fundraising for House races, has almost a 14-to-1 lead in cash on hand over its Republican counterpart, and a recent Gallup Poll showed Americans favor Democrats over Republicans by 15 percentage points....

The loss of their big campaign chests will definitely hurt the GOP candidates.

.....GOP Reps. Deborah Pryce of Ohio and Jim Ramstad of Minnesota will be retiring, as will Republicans like Rep. Jerry Weller, former Speaker Dennis Hastert, and Rep. Ray LaHood, all of Illinois....
.....The Democratic Party has set its sights on winning the swing district left open by the impending exit of 14-year incumbent Pryce, who barely held on to her seat in the last election.....

> Even though the House of Representatives was not in session yesterday for Columbus Day, Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce took it upon herself to miss votes again today. According to the Washington Post, that brings Pryce's tally to 100 missed votes since January. If Pryce doesn't want the job as our member of Congress, she should resign now.
