Reince Priebus Predicts 2014 "Tsunami"

I guess.

"I think we’re in for a tsunami-type election in 2014,” Priebus said.”My belief is, it’s going to be a very big win, especially at the U.S. Senate level, and we may add some seats in congressional races. But I need to and we need to at the RNC make sure that we can capture the positives and the benefits we’ve been able to provide in 2014 and build on that to have success in 2016, which is a very different type of election.”

He was bullish on the Senate...

“I’m just guessing here, but I think among youth and women, we’re gonna see the greatest increase in 2014 because of, No. 1, Obamacare,” Priebus said. “It’s very, very, very personal among women losing your doctor, getting your insurance canceled.”

As he has argued before, he continued: “Then young people, Obamacare is intentionally designed to screw young people over. Actuaries sat down, decided, let’s just screw over everyone 35 and younger. That’s what they did.”

This is interesting: The Democrats' only strong candidate for Pennsylvania 6 has just abruptly bailed out of the race.

It really does seem like yesterday that the DCCC was blasting out memos touting Parrish as such a strong candidate and telling the media that he was the “only one the DCCC is talking to.”

The DCCC even sent Nancy Pelosi up to Philadelphia to fundraise for Parrish.

Now it looks like the Florida-13 fallout has left Pelosi and the DCCC with a two-time double digit loser to challenge strong Republican candidate Ryan Costello in the PA-06 open seat.

The NRCC speculates that this is because of the FL-13 loss.

Incredible: Scott Walker just announced a billion dollar surplus and $500 million plus in tax relief.

So what's his Democratic opponent, Mary Burke, do?

Well, she wants you to know she's tough on government spending too, and is really interested in keeping the books balanced.

So she's got some cuts in mind: She wants to eliminate the income tax deduction for paying for private school for your kids.

See, that's just money flowing out of the government doors. Time to get tough on spending, unlike that Scott Walker.

"I think that these were new entitlement programs basically and we have to make tough budget decisions," Burke told reporters after an hourlong appearance at a luncheon sponsored by WisPolitics.

Burke, a member of the Madison School Board, added, "We have to do budget decisions that are going to grow the economy, that are going to impact us positively, and I think those were two new expenditures, frankly, that did neither."

During the luncheon, Burke mentioned the two programs when asked to identify savings that could be made in the overall state budget.

See, she wants to make some "tough" decisions on the budget.

It's just that they happen to involve taking money from taxpayers in order to deliver it to government employees.
