DNC Chair says grassroots movement worked; predicts Florida, talks Tea Party losses

DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz discusses President Obama’s re-election, Florida prediction, Tea Party losses and Democrats’ grassroots campaign with CNN’s Soledad O’Brien and the Starting Point panel.

Rep. Wasserman Schultz says, “David slew Goliath when it comes to money. Our average contribution was about $50. The door-to-door, neighbor-to-neighbor campaign beat billionaires trying to buy the White House. We had volunteers knocking on doors [until] their knuckles bled. And phones surgically attached to volunteers’ ears.”

Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien airs weekday mornings from 7-9a ET on CNN.
