Republicans are expanding the battle for the House into districts that Democrats had once considered relatively safe, while Democrats began a strategy of triage on Monday to fortify candidates who they believe stand the best chance of survival.
As Republicans made new investments in at least 10 races across the country, including two Democratic seats here in eastern Ohio, Democratic leaders took steps to pull out of some races entirely or dramatically cut their financial commitment in several districts that the party won in the last two election cycles.
Representatives Steve Driehaus of Ohio, Suzanne Kosmas of Florida and Kathy Dahlkemper of Pennsylvania were among the Democrats who learned that they would no longer receive the same infusion of television advertising that party leaders had promised. Party strategists conceded that these races and several others were slipping out of reach.
With three weeks remaining to save their majority, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has increased its spending in two New York races, along with at-risk seats in Massachusetts, Colorado, Kentucky, Illinois and Georgia, setting up a map of competitive districts that is starkly different from when the campaign began.
The strategic decisions unfolded at a feverish pace on Monday over an unusually wide playing field of nearly 75 Congressional districts, including here in Ohio, a key battleground in the fight for the House and Senate. The developments resembled moving pieces on a giant chess board, with Republicans trying to keep Democrats on the defensive in as many places as possible, while outside groups provided substantial reinforcements for Republicans.
The National Republican Congressional Committee, the party’s election arm in the House, can afford to make the new investments because the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a host of newly-formed political organizations have come to the aid of Republican candidates

Ten Gadsden flags and Obama’s coming. We’re finally on our own, this November I can hear the drumming. The Democrats are going to go!
Panic stations over at the DNC Titanic.
It’s looking better and better. Some of the names who have fallen below 50% include incumbents who have never had a competitive race.
Dems = The Party Of Running Scared. ‘Tis a beautiful thing!
Here’s an excerpt:

Is this music to your eyes too?
100 seats does not seem far fetched.
“...is this music to your eyes...”

yes?
Wipe out every Rat that voted to destroy our health care system.
It’s wasted money to defend those freshmen flukes. Driehaus alone was one of those instant “buyers’ remorse” members who won solely due to depleted GOP turnout and high Black turnout in Cincinnati. I believe virtually every poll since after the ‘08 election had him behind the former (and now future) incumbent, Steve Chabot. As for Dahlkemper, I never understood how she beat Phil English in ‘08. That was a real off-the-radar fluke upset in a district that doesn’t even have that much of a Black population. I’m surprised English didn’t try to make a comeback.
I reckon the Dems are in for a surprise on Nov 2nd, they may lose way more than even they imagined, I might even watch CNN that night just to watch fat roland and Brazilles collective outrage and head explosions.

I just double down on Ryan Frazer....now it’s your turn!
Ditto for MSNBC. It'll be a treat watching Olbermann and Chrissy Matthews go into complete meltdown.
get 2 tvs on, one for msnbc and one for CNN and watch them collapse in tears on live tv when they have to announce republican winners one after the other.
So now they know how the rest of the American people have fared in relation to Democrat promises.
I think I’ll watch Keith call the whole country red neck racists because they are too stupid to understand the greatness of that sorry sack of sh*t, gay, muslim, commie, anit American POS FUBO!!
should be good for laughs and help increase the morale of the working people of the country. The welfare, student slacker crowd maybe depressed though. LOL
Dan Benishek has been given a 87% chance of taking the house seat that was held by..
Bart Stupak...or Kaputs..whichever way you wanna put it.
