Democrats have fouled their own pants

USA Today: The non-partisan Cook Political Report ranks just 16 of those districts, 13 held by Democrats and three by Republicans, as competitive enough that neither party has a clear advantage with fewer than 100 days to go before Election Day.
The current House makeup includes 234 Republicans and 199 Democrats, and there are two vacant seats that are safely Democratic. That means Democrats need a net gain of 17 seats for a takeover. They'd have to pick up 17 Republican seats and lose none of their own, or make even greater gains in GOP territory to make up for any losses.
Who is to blame?  Over half of Americans consider Obama the worst post war president, over half dislike Obamacare, and 80% of us think DC is a bankrupt, corrupt wasteland.
