CO-3 doesn’t have a competitive challenger (yet), and we’ll have to wait to see if Frazier moving into the CO-7 race makes that one competitive or not.

Good old partisan Democrat Charlie Cook, who worked for a Democrat senator, who never saw 1994 coming, who has endorsements from Bob Schieffer and Dana Milbank on his front page, and who rated the New Jersey governor’s race as “Safe D” well into the summer (and who still has that rating for David Paterson in New York).

I believe there are even more competitive races than this. If ol’ Charlie says it’s bad for the D’s, then it’s probably worse.

Francisco “Quico” Cansecois back to take on Ciro Rodriguez in TX-23.
He lost in the primary round in 2008, but would have had the best chance to flip this competitive seat.

Just updated his website, this will be a good chance for pick-up.

Obviously the Democrat Plan is to just deny or outright lie.

Lies:

1. Americans are for this bill, any poll you look at shows Americans are against the Health Bill by 57-43%

2. Don’t rush to judgement when we can all see the facts point to the fact that Hasan was a terrorist they did nothing about because of new Political Correctness standards in the FBI and the Army. Poll’s show 60% of Americans feel Hasan was a a terrorist.

3. Americans don’t favor the endless deficit spending. Voters in Virginia and New Jersey pointed to this in exit polls, NJ a deep blue state 6 points, VA a state Obama won, 18 points for the Republican.

People have figured out this lier, his words, his actions, even what he doesn’t act on gives him away. He wants full blow socialism and if he has to deny the truths of how Americans feel to impliment it he will. Damn the torpedeos full speed ahead. We will win in 2010 and win big, I say at least 40 seats. Strangely enough I actually think Obama wants his congress to lose in 2010 so he can constrast himself to the new congress, thus sell himself as balance. Of course by then he will have accomplished his socialist agenda.

IA-1 Bruce Braley* is my congressman — What does the “*” denote?
Thanks in advance!

NC-4 we have a strong canadite running against David Price. His name is Frank Roche and he will meeting with Dick Armey tomorrow (barring any unforeseen scheduling conflict). We will be working very hard for this guy.

NC-13 is Bill Randell (an African American Christian Conservative/ ex-Navy) all around awesome guy running against Brad Miller. We will be hitting the pavement for this campaign too.

Two strong conservative canidates with a solid chance of upsetting two Libs.

The only candidate I know of to date who is running against Allen Boyd is Carl Meece, Chairman of the Republican Party of Suwannee County.

From WhoRunsGov.com:

“In the last 12 years Boyd has won re-election with relative ease, despite the fact that Republican presidential candidates have carried the district with roughly 54 percent in the last three presidential elections…. Though there was speculation that Boyd would run for the Senate in 2004 when Bob Graham (D-Fla.) launched a presidential campaign, and again in 2009 when Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) announced his retirement, both times Boyd decided to run for reelection to the House.

“Al Lawson, a Democratic state Senator being forced out by term limits, is gearing up to challenge Boyd in the 2010 primary, but analysts say he is unlikely to succeed because of disadvantages in fundraising. Lawson, who is African-American, hopes to take advantage of demographic shifts (31 percent of registered voters in the district are black), and says Boyd is too conservative.

“Boyd has long been a leader within the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of 51 fiscally conservative House Democrats. In 2009, he was named chairman of the newly-established 15-member Blue Dog Budget and Financial Services Task Force…and has been vocal in the press in his concerns about recent federal spending….”

(Cherrypicked) From Project Vote Smart (but remember that a possible primary opponent called him too *conservative*):

A good candidate who makes information like this known about Allen Boyd might have a good chance of winning, assuming rural turnout was sufficient (Tallahassee is in the district and skews it to the left).

Fla Mom

yes, I misspelled tales, I see VA-11 going R in the 2010, especially after the off year election and Connolly’s vote on Cap n Tax, Stimulus, and HR Pelosicare (whichever one were on). Gerry Connolly is a one term critter who needs to go back to the Fairfax county board where he belongs, or run against Moran in the primary, he’s not representing PWC.

I live in the district and I doubt it is going to be a competive race. Biggert did have her worst showing yet in 08 but that was still a 10 point win and the Dems here had massive Barry cotails as the youth vote turned out for him. She is facing the same opponet as 08 who has no name ID. If the Dems thought that this could be a competive race they had plenty of better candidates to run. Biggert will win by atleast 15 points.

IL-8 Melissa Bean
IL-11 Debbie Halvorson
IL-14 Bill Foster

Looks like old Joseph Cao will get trounced in Cold Cash Jefferson’s former district.. Is there a possibility of a primary challenge?
