Dems should use the Sequester to rake in more votes.

I'm sorry the Sequester has to happen. Mitt Romney and his friends get to keep their special tax loophole gifts. Normal people, including Republicans, Independents, and Democrats lose out.

Dems should not take this opportunity lying down, though. We need to make sure every single penny taken from the wallets of middle and working class people is noticed.

Picture a Republican or independent engineering contractor being furloughed from his defense or health project. House Tea Party Republicans actually think that guy won't notice that they are to blame. They actually think the guy will thank them for taking his money and giving it to Mitt Romney.

They wish. It's open season on Republican votes while the Republicans keep their Tea Party Sequester going. We need to take every vote we can get from them while it lasts.

PBO hitting hard at them at every opportunity will help to blunt the RW memes trying to say it's the President's sequester.

Try as they might to brag about holding the line on government spending and raising taxes, those in their deepest red districts will be exposed if they let the cuts become a burden on their local voters. It is a lot harder to lay the blame on the "other" when you and your family/friends are being hurt as well.
