He finally admitted it.
In an interview on Fox News this morning, Speaker John Boehner revealed that Republicans have a “big challenge” in winning the House again this year.
Why did Boehner break the news this morning?
We’re just days away from the first Federal Election Commission deadline of the 2012 general election. Boehner, Cantor, and the Republicans are pulling out all the stops to rile up their Big Oil and Tea Party campaign contributors.
Now, with the House at stake, all eyes are on our response. Will you help us raise the $1 million we need to keep pace with the Republicans?

Boehner even laid out the math for how Republicans could lose the House. He confessed that 50 Republicans are already in “tough races.” We need just 25 to win the House.
On this first FEC deadline of the general election, let's show Boehner, the national media, and everyone else who’s watching just how committed we are to ending Republicans' reign in the House:
