Steve Israel Makes Case for Democrats Winning Back House in 2012
One year out from the 2012 elections, House Democrats say that a combination of recruiting successes, positive movement in generic ballot polling and redistricting puts the party on the path to regaining the majority.
At a briefing with reporters Friday, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel (N.Y.) said that after last year’s crushing midterm defeat, the party is winning back independents and seniors because of policies supported by the GOP majority. He said voters were feeling “a sense of buyer’s remorse” toward Republicans and noted that the DCCC has had stronger recent fundraising than its Republican counterpart.
