The 2010 Tea Party class of Governors are in trouble in 2014. Governor Rick Scott is in big trouble in Florida. According to the latest polling he is trailing former Republican turned Democrat Charlie Crist by about 10 points in a Gravis Marketing poll. I will point out it is still about a year away and a lot can happen but Crist is part of the class of 2010 Governors who are all seeing their polling numbers tank. Corbett in Pennsylvania is polling at about 33% and Rick Synder in Michigan is fairing a little better in his polling for 2014 his numbers have improved since Michigan decided on the Medicaid expansion, something Pennsylvania and Florida not figured out yet.
ThinkProgress had a great piece on the minimum wage hike being considered by Congress and the economic benefits it will bring to the country. Raising the minimum wage is one way to reduce the food stamp rolls but it would also lift about 6 million people out of poverty. Of course though Republicans can't have it both ways either you are in favor of paying a decent wage or you want to kick people off food stamps.
The 2013 elections were great news for not only Democrats in Virginia but for socialist in Seattle. An election for city council in Seattle elected the first openly socialist candidate Kshama Sawant and of course the right wing is losing it.
Remember when Medicare Part D rolled out and Democrats did everything in their power to point and laugh at its poor roll out? Yeah me either. Politifact was happy to point out not only did Democrats help with the roll out but they pulled a gem of a quote from noted Obamacare saboteur Joe Wilson.
