North Carolina Rep. Mike McIntyre and New York Rep. Carolyn McCarthy will not seek reelection this year, according to multiple Democratic sources familiar with their plans – marking a blow to Democratic efforts to win control of the House.

Say what?

I am aware of no serious political analyst--Stu Rothenberg, Charlie Cook, Larry Sabato, or anyone else--who thinks that the Democratic Party has any real chance of retaking the House in 2014.

The Democrats will be doing well, I believe, if they can retain control of the Senate; which they may--but it should be a very close call.

If Boehner and Cantor succeed with their amnesty plans, many of us will stay home.
