Why Losing the House Is Not Such a Bad Thing for the Dems

In every loyal Democrats mind the fear of losing control of the House of Representatives is huge. Let's face the facts, the Democrats will lose their House majority unless some miracle happens in the next week. Losing the House, however, may not be such a bad thing after all. Why? Because we here at Project Left are looking to the future because the Democrats still have control of the White House and all polls are pointing towards the Democrats keeping control of the Senate. The problem is, however, is that the Democrats are only guaranteed both for the next two years. Then they run the risk of losing it all. That is where the beauty of the Democrats losing the House comes in. With a the way things are now a Democratically controlled Congress and White House will likley lose all in 2012. A split house, although, will result in gridlock, which the Democrats can use against the Republicans. They can say that the Republicans are holding back the legislative process and just trying to be problems. This of course will lead to a Democratic victory in 2012. So as bad as it sounds from this blog, losing the House will actually help us in the long run.
