Wasserman Schultz: ‘Very likely’ for GOP to lose House, blames tea party By Jeff Poor - The Daily Caller 12:34 PM 04/24/2012

Predictions of victory are taboo in sports because they wind up as bulletin board material to motivate the opposition. But that isn’t stopping Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz from making grand projections about her party’s electoral success come November.

On Tuesday’s “Starting Point” on CNN, Wasserman Schultz stopped short of Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod’s outright declaration that President Barack Obama would win re-election by saying it was “entirely reasonable” to believe that Democrats would recapture the U.S. House.

“I think it’s entirely reasonable for [House Speaker John Boehner] to expect that they could lose the House because they very well could,” she said. “We’re working hard to make sure that happens because John Boehner has allowed the tea party to take over his conference.”

Later, Wasserman Schultz echoed Axelrod’s message, which depicted the Republican opposition as “extremist” and said the House GOP would be held responsible for not offering any so-called jobs bills.

“The Republicans have fully embraced extremism and they have brought in two years almost no jobs legislation to this floor and not worked with the president on any legislation to help make sure that we can move the economy forward because their number one goal is political and that’s to defeat Barack Obama,” she said.

I suppose that Obama could be re-elected. I certainly hope not, but it is well within the realm of possibility, esp. in this little corner of reality.

However, I don’t see ANY reason to think that Republicans will not keep their house majority and have good gains (maybe excellent gains) in the Senate.

The big O can moan and groan, but the Dems have a. done nothing and b. have no plans to do anything and c. everything they HAVE done is either 1. obscure 2. unpopular or 3. a failure.

I understand this woman is pretty much required to say this, but that doesn’t give it an iota of believability.

Am I really supposed to believe the American public, ESPECIALLY if they decide to stick with the devil-they-know Obama are really going to give the legislative reigns (sp?!?) back to Pelosi?

We may be stupid and Mitt Romney may st*nk, but we are not THAT stupid.
