Gary Peters (more appropriately named “DICK”) is #72 on the list. This closet commie MUST go. I've met his rival Raczkowski twice. Former military, conservative, traditional Christian values. Michigan District #9.

Peters voted for Obozo's healthcrap...inexcusable.

I looked it up. It's amazing the things you don't know. I lived in Michigan for a few years, and never heard of this. Fascinating.

Exactly...we will NEVER FORGET the healthcare idiots & traitors to the constitution. I still have my list of the 'yes' voters handy.

Great compilation. Thank you. The election results this year could be seismic (fingers crossed).

The pundits all laughed when Boehner said Republicans would take 100 seats.
Their laughter has turned to tears.


I don't think we will get 100. However, with 103 in play the Democrats can't concentrate their money in a hand full of vulnerable races. They will be forced to fight all over the country. The more races in play the better our chances to take a significant portion of them.

We have to be careful about the expectations game that the Democrats are playing. If victory is defined as a 100 seat turn around the Dems will drop 99 seats and claim they still have a mandate for Obama to rule through executive order. Winning the war in a day is always nice, but we must concentrate on winning the battle of 2010. We need 41 to take back the house. We can lose over 60 of the above races and still take the gavel away from Pelosi. That must be the goal that matters most at the moment. Sure an electoral Tsunami would be great. But all we actually need is to flush that San Francisco turd.

Does anyone get that this is pysch-ops? 103 gives the GOP a super majority in the house. They must have emperical data that is is possible, and to also get them running scared...

Yep. That is the question for each and every one of these Democrats that is running scared... Are you going to vote with the Democrats on organization? Are you going to vote for San Fran Nan for Speaker?

Because Wisconsin does not have their primaries until next month, I have yet to see any polls for my district. The 8th is currently held by Steve Kagan, but for years (prior to 2006) is was a Republican leaning seat. There are something like 8 people competing to run for the GOP.

There is a press release today from the Reid Ribble campaign that says that a poll has come out that gives him a 10 point lead (if he wins the nomination) over Kagan. So if that is credible I think that the WI 8th district will be back in GOP hands.

100+ seats for Republicans is freaking dreaming. SC05 — John Spratt’s seat ain’t happening. I imagine the Club For Growth is similarly overly optimistic on at least 2/3rd’s of these seats.

While the electorate is very dissatisfied with Obama and the Democrats, they STILL don’t trust Republicans (with good reason) and most of the Republicans have given them NO good, POSITIVE reasons to vote FOR them this November. They are just hoping that they are the only alternative and that the Democrats destroying themselves is “enough.”

WHAT, pray tell, are the Republicans OFFERING? Where is their CONSERVATIVE agenda?! Where is “Reaganism?” Or a new “Contract with America?” Where’s the evidence that their Conservative convictions will last more than 100 days, and they won’t just become “Democrats lite?”

Republicans may pick up 30-38 seats in the house and 6-7 in the Senate — but they won’t get Congress back. But it’s nice to dream Club for Growth....

I can’t wait to see the detestable coward Patrick “Lapdog” Murphy go down (#48). Pelousy will have to find another doggie to pet.

The unions are going to pump a ton of money into all these races, and they will get hosed in terms of payback for dollars spent. Many Wealthy GOP-ers running will take great resources from the DNC to combat them, i.e. Scott and Snyder.

But IMHO the big game is in the Senate. The Dems are going to spend a fortune to hang onto seats and it will cost them a fortune.

The question is, how much damage will it do to the unions?

My take on the Senate, we could pick up between 8 to 14, here they the ones in play IMHO, and are really possible, i.e. retiring Dems, Died in Office, Spectre, etc. Note these are all Republican pickups, not a Republican picking up a Republican Seat.

1.) California, Fiorina,
2.) Colorado, Buck
3.) IL, Kirk,
4.) Nevada, Angle
5.) Washington, Rossi,
6.) Wisconsin, Johnson
7.) Connecticut, McMann,
8.) PA, Toomey,
9.) Delaware, Castle
10.) Arkansas, Boozman
11.) North Dakota, Hoeven

The long shots...

1.) OR, Hoffman over Widen
2.) West Virgina, the Byrd Seat,
3 & 4.) The NY seats, Gillibrand and Schumer

Doesn't matter what the GOP is offering, this a repudiation of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid dictatorship.
