Here is an update to the Vulnerable House Democrats - Master List that was posted yesterday on this thread.
It is still a work in progress but at least we are making progress. Comments on any our choices are welcomed and we are particularly interested in who we should be favoring in the various Primaries. We need good strong conservatives who can win in November.
The Chart has grown large enough that I'm posting it in two parts. Note that Names with a * in front of the name represents a Freeper Endorsement. We need more of those from everyone to help sort out the mad scramble of the Republican Primaries. The little pink box on some lines tell us that there are more than just the 3 candidates listed that are running. Those listed may or may not be the best. We need help sorting that out. It is, at this point the most critical need we have.
The Leans R etc. data is from Larry Sabato, ElectionProjection.com and CQPolitics.com. There are some blanks that I will fill in for the next update.

..
David Obey (D-WI) faces a strong Republican challenger, Sean Duffy. Duffy has gotten praise from Sarah Palin, and attracted donations from inside and outside the district. He can definitely beat Obey.
MA-10th Perry would be the best candidate, but Malone has more name recognition. He used to be the state treasurer a few years ago. He also has baggage, since some employees under him were stealing the place blind for awhile.
There are some other possible seats to be had in MA. MA-6th John Tierney( my district) went to Scott Brown in the special election. His opponent, Bill Hudak, ran last time and did fairly well for the first time. He also lent Brown his campaign office on the North Shore and will surely get a Brown endorsement. If there is a credible candidate for the 5th ( Niki Tsongas) that could also go red.
Thanks very much. The rest should leave the field so that Tom Watson can concentrate on defeating Ms. Louise Capps.
The FL-22 should be on everybody’s list of competitive races. It will definitely be a sub-5% race, and my money is on West.
Yeah, I gotta wonder if the poll “leans left”.
The race I am most familiar with is MD D-1, where Kravotil will certainly face the same opponent that he had last time out, Andy Harris.
The Rat won by 500 votes in a conservative district and they are calling this a toss-up??
Yeah, right!
Health care vote?

hell of a nice job on this..thanks and BUMP!
I think Loebsack in IA-2 is vulnerable.
Maybe in a few weeks we can list the freeper endorsed conservatives along with their website/paypal info for a mini freepathon. Together, we can get our Country back this November.

Scott Murphy voted yes on final Healthcare
Jim Tedisco is not running
Chris Gibson has the Repub nominination locked up, with the most party committee votes throughout the district. He is a solid candidate, and will make mincemeat out of Murphy in a debate. http://www.chrisgibsonforcongress.com/
Patrick Ziegler is the Tea party ‘spoiler’. He had originally told the local committees that ‘if’ he did not get the Repub nomination, that he would drop out. Now he has reneged and said he is staying in the race and may challenge Gibson in a Republican primary, or run on the Conservative line in the general. (we should know by mid-to-late April re the conservative endorsement)
This was a very close vote in the last election (that put Murphy in over Tedisco) by a mere 4% margin.
