Hoyer: Democrats Positioned To Take Back The House

Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the second ranking House Democrat, says the party positioned to take back the House in 2014.

Hoyer pointed to a fundraising advantage for Democrats, lower poll numbers for congressional Republicans, divisions inside the GOP ranks, and a good recruiting class of Democratic challengers, and said “all of those combined in my view give me great optimism that we’re going to win back the House.”

Democrats need to pick up 17 seats to regain the majority in the House, and most political handicappers say that with the narrow list of competitive congressional districts the odds are long that they can reach that goal.
