Republican campaign efforts are “far ahead” of where they were the year before the party took back the House in 1994, the leader of the GOP’s midterm campaign efforts said Monday.All of this stuff is great, but it doesn't guarantee winning 40 seats which is what is required to win back control of the House.
Rep. Pete Sessions (Texas) said that in such areas as fundraising and candidate recruitment, the House GOP’s 2010 election campaign is ahead of where the party was at the same point in the 1994 cycle. That was the year former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) led the Republican Revolution during the midterm election following former President Bill Clinton’s first two years in office.
“In terms of candidate recruitment, fundraising and issue development, we are far ahead of where we were at this point in 1993 — and you remember what happened in ’94,” Sessions, the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), told the conservative website Human Events in an interview posted Monday.
Republican confidence in 2010 has grown over the summer as concerns about Democratic plans to reform healthcare have dominated the political landscape.
However, if the Dems shove Obamacare down our throats with a bunch of parliamentary tricks in the Senate, they'll probably ensure the House Dems take a beating next year and the Congress may open in January of 2011 with Speaker John Boehner.

All the above is well and good, however, the essential ingredient, a coherent plan for America, is missing in action. I have told one donation requester after another to ask again when they have a plan to evaluate...not before.
