Today’s update to our Master List of Vulnerable House Democrats.
Personally I think the race for Michigan’s 7th district is a bit better than a toss up but we’ll have to overcome SEIU money to lock it in.

How about investigate and expose all of them so we can clean the sewer in November. Make it squeaky clean of corrupt anti-American sleaze.
78? That’s all?
219 voted for Healthcare. Not even half of them are in trouble for their vote.
I hope we can add Mary Landrieu to the list for 2012.
This would probably be perceived as “a threat”.
Actually, it is. The dems really don’t take kindly to anyone that threatens their POWER to restrict our liberty.
Guinta is the popular ex-mayor of Manchester, and there aren't many trucons to split the vote.
Guinta in NH-1 is a done deal. You heard it here first.
Right now we are focused on the House races. I'm hoping someone else will work the Senate.
The sad thing here is that Pelosi, Sanchez and Stupak (among others) are SAFE D. Should we be flooding these areas with money or is that just throwing money away? Is there ANY hope that a Scott Brown moment could happen in one of those three districts? If there is any hope, I would love to see a concerted effort to go after those seats.
I would suggest adding NJ-6 Representative Frank Pallone to your list.
Republican Chris Christie beat John Corzine by 15.5% in Pallone’s district last November. I don’t think the Democrats have done anything to endear themselves to the voters in the mean time.
Christie is giving the voters of New Jersey an education in responsible Republican government. I would not be at all surprised to see the voters responding favorably across-the-board in the Fall.
VERY well done!
You have my sympathy and that of many other Freepers. For the near term I'm keeping the Stupak seat in play because it is likely that a major effort will be made to unseat him. Time will tell on that one. Ditto FL-22 where Allen West is running and has great support. It looks bleak right now based on our "expert election evaluators" but I think we have a shot at it. We need some polling. Likewise with Sanchez.
This sounds like a job for Sarah Palin!
In the March 29th edition of The Weekly Standard, an article by Johnathan V. Last titled “Polls Apart” makes some important points about the nature of support for Obama and, ultimately, congressional democrats. Last states that while support for Obama in the overall population has dropped precipitously since his inauguration, support among the African-American community has actually increased from the mid-80’s to the low-to-mid 90’s. This support by Obama’s core group has been a major factor in keeping his approval numbers within sniffing distance of the vital 50% threshold.
But—here’s the author’s key point: Although Blacks make up 12% of the U.S. population in general, the black population is highly concentrated, primarily in the inner cities. So, my take on the article is that we will still have areas such as Watts or Newark where everyone loves Obama. These districts are totally safe democrat seats. No amount of poverty, crime, drugs, or poor education foisted upon the inhabitants by a half-century of democrat rule will ever get them to pull the lever next to the letter “R.”
But, the converse is that most districts have an African-American population that is well below the national average of 12%, and support for Obama in particular and democrats in general will be more dependent upon actual policies than the skin color of the policy maker. Lack of support for Obama will almost certainly result in a concomitant lack of support for democrat congressional candidates.
Right now we are focused on the House races. I’m hoping someone else will work the Senate.
Oops. I can’t believe I did that AGAIN. My congressman, Steve Scalise is a good guy so I have no problem with our congressman. But, I am so obsessed with getting Landrieu out I keep throwing her name into whatever conversation is going on about getting the critters out of our government. I have to calm down a bit and pay more attention. Sorry.
Right now we are focused on the House races. I’m hoping someone else will work the Senate.
Also, last time I made the mistake of putting Landrieus name in a congress conversation, I got spanked considerably. I hope I can escape the wrath this time:)
Nice work, but you forgot to put some crosshairs on that chart.
The experts say Texas 25 is safe for Democrat incumbent Lloyd Doggett. Maybe so, but I intend to work hard to defeat him. He is a true-believer socialist, plaintiff’s trial lawyer. For the sake of freedom and sanity, he really needs to go.
Specifically, I'm concerned about primary candidates brandishing endorsements by people who really don't know who they are and trying to end-run the voters by getting into duelling-endorsement peeing contests.
In addition to some of the wacky endorsements I've seen lately, we (Western Colorado) have chronic problems with the NRA being fooled by leftists who masquerade as constitutionalists to get their endorsement.
