Democrats won the U.S. House. Great! We've had nearly a week to bask in the glory of the victory. Perhaps we should start getting to work on helping our newly elected leaders decide what kind of congress this will be before the DLC does it for us.
So, Kossacks, here's my challenge. Let's take a break from vivisecting the electoral math and deciding what shade of blue to photoshop formerly red districts, and contact your congressional representative to let them know that you'd like them to support Jack Murtha for House Majority leader rather than, as David Sirota put it, "reconstructed pro-war mounthpiece, Steny Hoyer".

Or, if your representative is newly elected, call their campaign office.
