House Dems Do Their Own Stimulus

And so far, this is looking much better than Obama's first proposal.

House Democrats are circulating an $825 billion economic stimulus measure that emphasizes health care, education and highway construction as well as tax cuts for individuals and businesses.
A summary of the measure shows spending totaling roughly $550 billion and tax cuts of $275 billion, although the totals are expected to shift considerably as Congress works on the bill.

Let's hope the final package looks more like this. Keep up the good work, Congresscritters!

2012 Redistricting Reshuffle

Will California lose a House seat? Will North Carolina gain a House seat? Will New York lose 2 House seats? Will Florida gain 2 House seats?

Take a look at the current forecast to see where electoral power is moving to.

Weekly Strategy Session: House 2010

Swing State Project has a great thread up today on possibly vulnerable House seats in 2010. This really got me thinking.
What Congressional races do you think we should invest in?

The strategy session is now open. Please come on in!

The House Is Now in Order

C4O All-Star Mary Jo Kilroy has just been announced as the winner in the OH-15 House race! This means that the new House will open next month with 257 Democrats & 178 Republicans. Hooray! :-)

Btw, Ohio now has a majority Democratic Congressional Delegation. Isn't that great? This certainly makes up for the recent news of Louisiana growing redder. Ohio's bigger, and it's growing bluer. ;-)
