Great idea putting up the spreadsheet!
I’ve spoken with Brian Miller in AZ (8th district according to chart). He’s awesome! Strong 2nd amendment supporter, currently in the USAF Reserves as an A-10 guy. I’ve donated a small bit, if you can please do the same. It’s a small district and he hopefully will pick it up!
Great post, thanks. PA-11, Democrat incumbent Paul Kanjorski. This SOB has been around for 20+ years, is on the banking committee, was hip-deep in the corruption surrounding the bailout. Former Mayor of Hazelton, Lou Barletta, one of the first to attack illegal immigration on a local level has run against Kanjorski twice in 2006 and 2008, both years favoring Democrats. In 2008, in a district Obama carried by 5-10 points, Barletta lost by only 2 points. This time around Barletta should be able to win the day, especially considering Kanjorski cast one of the deciding votes on Healthcare. Hell, Kanjorski has voted the Pelosi-Communist ticket, right down the line. I have supported Mayor Lou with my money, and think he would be worthy of other conservatives support too.
Both New Hampshire seats are vulnerable. Hodes gave his up to run for Senate, and Shea-Porter (aka Che-Porter) isn’t polling above 35 percent against ANY announced GOP candidate.
Thanks for the Post. I’ll look it over and give my input shortly.
Pomeroy promised on Jan 29th in a Bismarck Tribune article he would not vote for either version (House of Senate) of the Obamacare. He lied.
NY23Dem Bill Owens
Vulnerable to challanger Doug Hoffman
...........................................
NY20 Dem Scott Murphy is vulnerable, contrary to what some of the DC pols reported him as during the countdown to the vote. Two challengers remaining are Chris Gibson, Patrick Ziegler

And, if the 2010 election for US CONGRESS were being held today, for whom would you vote
the Republican candidate
.... OR ....
the Democratic candidate
for Congress from this district?
43% TOTAL REPUBLICAN
34% TOTAL DEMOCRATIC
Overall, given what you know about them, would you say you support or oppose the proposed
changes to the health care system being developed by Congress and the Obama administration?
40% TOTAL SUPPORT
55% TOTAL OPPOSE
A good part of NY 20 (prior to redrawing) was Red, and the district of Jerry Solomon.

As I expected, at least 30% of these are safe or leaning. Then there are those who will be reelected without a doubt - NY, CA, IL, etc. and there won’t be as much change as needed.
Unless they are all voted out, the communization of America is going to continue. That is, until the people no longer have any fear of living or dying.
A thought:
We also need to keep our eyes on the positions for state attorney general. This will be become ever more important in challenging run-away federal control.
Here are screen grabs from CQPolitics.com. The question of the day is: Can we use these as a definitive starting point to get our list into shape?

I don’t know if you all have seen this thread yet, but your input is certainly welcome.
Sweet - thanks!
