Chabot got taken out by Driehaus in Obama's coattails in 08, but it looks like that'll be corrected handily this year. Driehaus voted for Obamacare, BTW.

It’s going to be a Demo rout in November.

Driehaus is the poster boy for an Obama butt boy. He was the “conservative” democrat ready to bring fiscal responsibility to Washington, if we just got rid of the Bush followers.
Well somewhere along the way his facade dropped away and he voted for everything Zero wanted. Well the chickens are coming home to roost for this little weasel.
I've stood in front of his office with other Tea Party people trying to let him know his time is running out. Get your resume out you POS.

Dems will get their clocks cleaned in states like VA, PA and OH!

A lot of Rahm's Blue Dogs are going to be washed out with the tide in November. There are 55 districts held by Democrats that went for McCain in 2008. I expect all of them to be picked up the GOP.

******************************
Cook still hasn't grasped the energy, anger and anti-Democratic Party frevor that is sweeping through this country right now. His current predictions don't even come close to accurately measuring how many seats the Democrats are going to lose. . He needs to throw away his old play book and get with the program.
To: SmokingJoe
You make a good point. Sometimes these pollsters are to clinical. I wonder if you were out with them for a cold beer they would tell you their gut feel. My guess is to get that, you have to pay for it as a client.

When is 56% to 39% a toss up? When the GOP is leading.

I just think his current/old model is broken and needs some adjustment.
If the Democrats are struggling to win even the safest Democratic US Senate seat in the entire country in Massachusetts, how safe is any Democratic seat anywhere in the country then?
Cook still thinks the Democrats will retain control of the House. There is simply no way that is gonna happen. Not with the Democrats likely to lose Ted Kennedy's seat.

Driehaus is a freshman, so it’s hard to imagine that he’d bail. But his career is pretty much toast unless a miracle happens, so it depends on whether he wants to stand and fight or not.
To: Galactic Overlord-In-Chief
When Chabot lost had to wonder how much was caused by the extensive voter fraud in Ohio that the Secretary of State condoned.
This is AWESOME news! Thanks for posting.

I live in this district and this is poll is great news. Driehaus campaigned as a conservative Democrat and his voting record isn’t even close to backing it up. He’s already voted in favor of the stimulus, cap-and-trade, and Obamacare. More than enough ammo for Steve Chabot to wipe him out in November.
To: Galactic Overlord-In-Chief
Western Cincinnati (in-suburbs) is the most liberal area in a traditionally staunch conservative region. It was the voter enthusiasm of 2008 from the inner-city and inner suburbs that allowed Driehaus to win. Now they see he votes for bailouts, cap and trade and health care reform. He’s flaming out.

I live just north of you and have Boehner as my congressman. I hope I can help in defeating Driehaus with you. He’s a punk.

Chabot defeated my nephew Greg Harris, in both 2002 and 2004
by an even wider margin, if memory serves.
To: Clintonfatigued
I’d be surprised if he did, more than likely he’ll be removed by the voters in November. Hopefully Chabot will have his seniority restored since he didn’t cut and run from Congress.
