Rep. Chris Van Hollen, Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, outlines the historic nature of our 2008 election victories and thanks grassroots and Netroots supporters for their continuing support. Democrats beat history in 2008 by winning a second straight wave election. House Democrats' 24 seat pick-up marks the first time in history a party has won a wave election to take the Majority and followed it with another wave of pick-ups.
