Note to the Dems: You want your power back? Win some elections. You want your statewide offices back? Win some elections. You want your committee chairmanships back? Win some damned elections. Fantastic levels of gerrymandering both twelve and two years ago give you the majority of congressional seats that you now enjoy regardless of the pasting after pasting that you have received at the state's ballot boxes.
Don't speak to me of disenfranchised voters when your party has been way out of favor for a decade or more statewide and you still have a majority of congressional seats.
And Senator van de Putte: Put down that Payday.
