Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain

National Democrats continue to claim they are going to expand the field and work towards a 60 seat majority. Amazingly the states the DSCC claims they will be competitive in are truly foreign to them.
Take Oklahoma for example, in their blog reports from the state they make numerous mistakes about farming and even the name of their location.
Perhaps national Democrats think a left-wing liberal can win statewide in Oklahoma because they are clueless when it comes to the Sooner state.

more conservative than our own (at least in rhetoric). Well, I guess we will get what we deserve since the Republicans use conservative issues to get into office and then seem to become liberals when necessary (too much about power and protection of office)! Call me disgusted and dismayed and a NEW Independent!
Now when they turn me off - after 50 years, you know your in trouble...

This strategy will be how the dems build a majority. The Democratic party understands that DINOS are useful. All you need is enough numbers in the majority, so that they can sit out those votes which would offend people in their districts (or better yet, cross the aisle to maintain their "principles") At the end of their terms, with their "conservative" record unblemished, they'll continue to hold seats the GOP should.
If she needs their votes, she'll crack that whip. There's no way in hell that Pelosi allows anything that is remotely pro-life, pro-gun, or pro-family through the House so long as she is running the place. She wants these blue-dog Dems to expand her majority. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when she has a "sit-down"/orientation with these new conservative Democrats. I guarantee you that Nancy has a testicle lock-box that is every bit as formidable as Hillary Clinton's.
“.....women and minorities hardest hit”
Sure. But when the pro-choice vote comes up, and the democrats have a solid majority, they can afford to tell the DINOS to not vote or to "vote their conscience." Then the'll go back to their red-districts, talk about how they remained true to their principles, and thats that.
Given the bang-up job the Dean-Reid-Pelosi axis of idiocy has done in botching our first double majority since 1994, I don't think the bluedogs are sweating it too much.
The Fuzzy Puppy of the VRWC. I've been usurped!
I'm truly starting to feel like a man without a party. I'm starting to think I'm turning into a Rockefeller Republican at about the time you all are finishing up with the purges.
No Moe, I'm not coming to the dark side. Even with the good dental. It just seems the gap between the D leadership and myself has grown almost as wide as the gap between me and right.
What I actually meant was "Laughing at you is no fun. Kind of mean, actually."
I mean, 95% of the Other Side that stops by? Very entertaining, while they last. You I'd drink a beer with. Addison, too, assuming that we can get him to drink something that didn't come in cans.

Matt8 It's comical to get a county name wrong for sure but the writer was not, in an economic sense, terribly far wrong on family v corporate farm ownership. According to the latest census statistics (2002), the largest (read corporate) farms represented ~5% of the number of farms but ~25% of the annual sales of crops and livestock; whereas, the smaller (read family) farms represented 60% of all farms but only 0.75% of farm income. As the small owner knows all too well, it's tough to make a living as a farmer or rancher.
78,197 of the some 83,000 farms in Oklahoma are family owned.

I hardly think that Oklahomans will cast their votes on a DSCC staffer's vlog screw up. The more people think that we can't lose these races, the more likely we are to do so.
This could be and cringe enducing and funny as watching Cindy and Nancy mudwrestle for the Cali seat.
They've found a stategy that works, running Conservative Democrats in red to purple districts. The GOP can't label them San Fran liberals like the national party when they are pro school prayer, pro-2nd amendment, pro-life, etc.
there are enough people that are politically, economically and Foreign affairs ignorant that will vote that for a conservative Dem.
