We lost a lot of seats in strongly republican districts, in many cases because the person we had was either proven corrupt or perceived as corrupt. We gave the people no choice. They will vote republican if they get a chance.
We will have to really screw up not to win FL-16 and TX-22 next time around, unless the winners there really deliver on conservative promises.
We may only need 10 seats to take back the house, and we should be able to do that. Especially if we have a presidential candidate that is strong.
Not really. If you look at many of the races in places like Indiana, Kentucky, FLA, and PA there were many races that were close in 2004, but we won them at that time. Shaw, Northrup, and others always seem to squeak by until this time.

True, there are districts out there that should be ripe for the picking.

A lot will depend upon what is happening in Iraq and with the economy then. And there may be some other unseen event that could alter things. Also, you can't start with the asumption that we will hold on to all of the seats we have now. The Dems didn't lose an incumbent this time around.
No way a Democrat stays in power in CD22.
Gibbs would have beaten Lampson had everyone who voted for her in the special election took the extra time to write her in as well.
In a Presidential election year, this district goes Republican.
