More than 40 Hollywood politicos -- including Barbra Streisand, James Brolin and Haim Saban -- gathered Thursday night at a closed-door meeting at Norman Lear's Westside mansion, where they heard Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi lay out the party’s plans for recapturing the House in the 2014 mid-terms.
"The message was: 'We have to start now,'" one attendee said. "We have a year, and these races are going to be close. They're looking to Hollywood for support."
Naturally, the fundraising needs for the 2014 House campaigns were high on the agenda. The Dems are looking to Hollywood and the entertainment industry to play a major role in helping them fund the effort to hold onto their Senate majority and to recapture the House, which would give Pelosi another shot at the speakership.
Well, you always go to the experts when you need advice on how to run the country. Barbra Streisand can write some instruction manuals and send them to Washington. Several years ago, she was good at sending instuctions to Tom Daschle on how to run the senate. Maybe she can help Nancy recapture her beloved seat.
For the same reason the the GOP has a huge uphill clime to get the WH is the same reason the Rats will probably NEVER regain the House. Their slash and burn politics of "us vs. them" have made most of the seats the Rats need to get totally out of their reach.

IIRC Babs' education ended after 9th grade.
She's as smart as any leftist 'expert' out there....
