3 others are running

have Mark Kirk’s (RINO) seat up there huh? Well if Dold works up it will sorta be like a pickup. But that’s what we thought when Kirk succeed RINO John Porter to the seat.
Still have no clue why Putnam’s (R) open is up there.
You simply must add Florida 22, Ron Klein. It’s a seat with a narrow GOP registration edge and it narrowly went for Obama who failed to improve. Excellent Conservative Republican Allen West lost by less than 10 points to him in 2008 with little attention little or support. I assure you that race is more likely ours than a few others you have there. Colonel West is the democrats worst nightmare. I’ve noticed the media trying to downplay that race.
A second GOPer has entered that race. Former Navy Pilot Marc Flagg.
We need to win most of these!
District 17: Republican Primary May 18th
McCain 51% 2008
Tim Holden (D) (Incumbent)Voted No on Obamacare, considered safe, but I ain't buying it.
Dave Argall (R) State Sen., Ex-State Rep. & College Instructor
Josh First (R) Businessman
Frank Ryan (R) Accountant, USMC Veteran & 04 Candidate
Chet Edwards 17th 53% in (08) - BUSH 70% (04) McCAIN 67%
Rodriguez......23rd 55% (08) - BUSH 64% (04) McCAIN 58%
Cuellar.........28th 68% (08) - BUSH 52% (04) McCAIN 43%
Ortiz.......... 27th 57% (08) - BUSH 55% (04) McCAIN 45%
Doggett ........25th 65% (08) - BUSH 37% (04) McCAIN 39%
Gene Green.. 29th 75% (08) - BUSH 44% (04) McCAIN 37%
I think we have a real chance to beat Edwards and Rodriguez and an even chance at Ortiz. Cuellar is probably safe and Doggett and Gene Green are a real stretch.
