DCCC

We’ve been talking a lot about the very predictable catastrophic impact the Steve Israel Effect has been having on Democratic campaigns from coast to coast.

If Comstock wins in November, Sean Hannity and Steve Israel deserve the creditLast week the NRCC put $605,144 into ads against John Foust, the Democrat running in the open northern Virginia seat from which mainstream conservative Frank Wolf is retiring. The Republican candidate to replace Foust is anything but a mainstream anything.

Founded in 1961, MIRS— Michigan Informantion and Research Service— isn’t meant to be for everyone.

The DCCC is withdrawing from more races. It was inevitable; they recruited the wrong candidates and, in many cases, the wrong districts.

If politics was rational Roll Call's list of the 10 most vulnerable House Members might look very different and possibly include other congressional sociopaths besides Staten Island Mafia thug Michael "Mikey Suits" Grimm. Almost everyone but Grimm on the list-- Carol Shea-Porter excepted-- is just some dull 3rd rate hack backbencher.

As we've been mentioning lately, Steve Israel's abysmal candidate recruitment in targeted districts is resulting in chillingly bad campaigns and horrifying polling. And all that has led, inevitably, to the DCCC cutting their worst candidates loose to sink or swim-- mostly just sink-- on their own.

Steve Israel picks candidates who disagree with these wild ideas-- and they loseBack in May, the DCCC announced they had reserved $43.5 million in TV time for endangered incumbents like Blue Dogs John Barrow, Nick Rahall and Collin Peterson and for Steve Israel's mostly wretched, conservative, doomed recruits.

John Barrow, from the Republican wing of the Democratic PartyYesterday we saw that most of the 17 Democratic House Members from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party who voted for Darrell Issa's strictly partisan resolution to hold Eric Holder in criminal contempt were defeated in 2012.

The 1st idiot to run the DCCC, James Rood Doolittle, and the current incompetent, Steve IsraelPatty Murray did a legendary job running the DSCC in the 2012 election cycle.

There aren't many-- if any-- Republicans who have been more demonized in those annoying DCCC emails begging for money from lo-info grassroots Dems, than Paul Ryan. Reading them, you'd think the DCCC is gearing up to fight-- if not already in the midst of hand-to-hand combat-- against the despised and much-vilified (rightfully despised and vilified) Ryan.
