But Ball was more willing to directly attack the Democratic Party’s leadership in the House — and cast the new effort as an attempt to break with it. Some political analysts say Democratic candidates are weighed down by what the Cook Political Report calls the “Pelosi Factor.” In the home stretch of several House elections, including Thursday’s Montana race, Republicans have deployed images of Pelosi in attack ads to go after their Democratic opponents.
“She’s an impediment to every House Democrat in the country except for a few coastal enclaves,” Ball said in an interview. Candidates running under the People’s House Project will be able to say they’re of a different cast than Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Ball said.
“This gives us a chance to go straight into the heartland with an economic message,” said Kildee, who like Ryan stressed that he doesn’t view the effort as contradictory to Pelosi. “We have really not led with an economic message that transcends the whole spectrum of voters who would benefit from Democratic policies.”

The party of death needs to be remained who their cheerleader is...KATHY GRIFFIN!! Bam!!
“We have really not led with an economic message that transcends the whole spectrum of voters who would benefit from Democratic policies.”
Is this a variation on the idea, that people are too stupid to know that they should vote Democrat, due to allegedly superior enlightened Democrats policies???
And if that is the case, what does that say about the Democrats, that they lack the ability to convey their allegedly superior policies to the voters?? Isn’t that what campaigns are supposed to be about, convincing voters to support your party or candidate???
A change in marketing.
LOL! Run, Maxine, run.
What’s worse than being “...job locked”? (Pelosi)
Getting you hours cut the 28.5 per week....AND losing your healthcare!
The Vox site is typical of most Lib websites, no comments section. I’ve noticed a reverse correlation. The more “liberal” the site, the less likely a comments section is provided. It fits the Lib concept of a “conversation”, which is to say they’re speaking, you riffraff shut up.
>>LOL! Run, Maxine, run.<<
warren/waters 2020! Or pelosi/waters 2020!
Either one! Please!!!
And exactly how would Bella Pelosi and Chuck U Shumer react when these folks defy the whips and vote with the GOP?
Also, I thought white working-class voters were irrelevant now? You know, demographics is changing the country, all the right-wing racists will die off, and all the new brown voters will make the Left a permanent majority
At least, that’s what leftists tell me.
Yeah, Pelosi doesn’t speak for them!
Maxine Waters does.
No wait, Chuck Shumer does.
No wait, Chris Murphy does.
No wait, Barbara Mikulski, Kirsten Gillibrand, Al Franken, Maria Cantwell, Richard Blumenthal, Tammy Baldwin do...
Oh never mind. Pelosi does...
And it’s just a bunch of bullsh1t! I know YOU know this GSC... But, to get it on record...
It’s BS because they can *say* they’re a different cast than Pelosi and Schumer, but those two ARE RUNNING the democratic party. Not Ball or anyone else. Schumer and Pelosi are the highest ranking democrats in office in the USA today.
Every single Republican running ought to wring the democrats necks with those two.
Wanna prove ‘em wrong? Elect new leaders!!!!
Otherwise, it’s just talk.
Thanks, Vox! You just gave us our “stratergery” for 2018!
Don't be fooled again, voters.
Dem cronies and criminals: “Hey VOX, we want to put a different face on the same old scams”
VOX: “We’re here to help!”
Pelosi is the Democrat’s John McCain.
Yes, and FR-er "LS" has discussed this in 2006 and if my memory is correct they ran on we don't like the wars but we are Pro-Military / Service Men and Women.
Tangent to this I saw a Schumer CSPAN interview right after they took the House and Senate in 06 and he outlined their strategy. They started in PA and went westward into OH and other states and picked off districts they felt this would fly in. Tangent to this I had found a map of districts with breakdowns by religious affiliations. I compared it to the districts they picked off. Son of a Biscuit, the predominant faith in those districts was Catholic. I am not sure that was by design or not, and I kick myself I didn't download the reference material I found on the web.
Note, this is not an anti-Catholic rant etc etc, but you look at it and it jumps out at you. More importantly are these districts ones that PDJT carried in 16 and are Catholics a large part of this WWC / Swing voter that is in PDJT's camp. I'd need an updated map by faith/Districts, if one even exist today if someone is actually still putting one together...
