Personally I think the race for Michigan’s 7th district is a bit better than a toss up but we’ll have to overcome SEIU money to lock it in.

78? That’s all?

219 voted for Healthcare. Not even half of them are in trouble for their vote.

I hope we can add Mary Landrieu to the list for 2012.

I guarantee NH-1 for Frank Guinta. The RATs got 2 big (well, big for NH) cities into NH-1, Portsmouth and Manchester. That's been a tough hill to climb.

Guinta is the popular ex-mayor of Manchester, and there aren't many trucons to split the vote.

Guinta in NH-1 is a done deal. You heard it here first.

The sad thing here is that Pelosi, Sanchez and Stupak (among others) are SAFE D. Should we be flooding these areas with money or is that just throwing money away? Is there ANY hope that a Scott Brown moment could happen in one of those three districts? If there is any hope, I would love to see a concerted effort to go after those seats.

I would suggest adding NJ-6 Representative Frank Pallone to your list.

Republican Chris Christie beat John Corzine by 15.5% in Pallone’s district last November. I don’t think the Democrats have done anything to endear themselves to the voters in the mean time.

Christie is giving the voters of New Jersey an education in responsible Republican government. I would not be at all surprised to see the voters responding favorably across-the-board in the Fall.

Nice work, but you forgot to put some crosshairs on that chart.

The experts say Texas 25 is safe for Democrat incumbent Lloyd Doggett. Maybe so, but I intend to work hard to defeat him. He is a true-believer socialist, plaintiff’s trial lawyer. For the sake of freedom and sanity, he really needs to go.

I'm not sure what "Freeper Endorsement" means. How is this determined?

Specifically, I'm concerned about primary candidates brandishing endorsements by people who really don't know who they are and trying to end-run the voters by getting into duelling-endorsement peeing contests.

In addition to some of the wacky endorsements I've seen lately, we (Western Colorado) have chronic problems with the NRA being fooled by leftists who masquerade as constitutionalists to get their endorsement.

For Virginia's 9th District (Rick Boucher), you need to add Adam Light as a serious GOP challenger:

Shine a 'Light' on Congress

Adam's been very busy traveling throughout SWVA over the past few weeks, making strong connections with both the state and local GOP organizations, and building solid grassroots support.

He has a very good chance of winning the nomination to take on and ultimately beat Boucher since he actually lives in Tazewell, is a land/mining surveyor, and is heavly involved with the local tea parties, unlike the GOP apparatchnik Griffith, who has none of the essential credentials to be a successful SWVA candidate.

Great list, though I wonder if all the fallout from ObamaCare has settled yet. Comments on the PA seats:

PA-3: Dahlkemper is probably a lot more vulnerable than shown here. She is a weak candidate and an Obama Kool-Aid drinker in a district which is largely rural except for Erie, the largest city and a bastion of unionism. She only won this district in 2006.

PA-4: Altmeier is only a little less vulnerable, despite his vote against ObamaCare. Similar demographics to PA-3, but dominated more by the Pittsburgh suburbs who are mostly less liberal than Erie.

PA-12: Murtha is gone, and with him his porky seniority perks. I think the only way the Republicans can lose this is if they have an overly nasty primary.

PA-10: Carney is a total ass and represents a geographically large district. There may not be enough rust belt retired union workers to save him this time.

PA-17: Holden, unfortunately, is a lock because of the district demographics: parts of Pittsburgh plus its most liberal suburbs who make their living in academia or on the public teat.

Larry Sabato - he is so in bed with the DNC - I don’t trust anything of his predictions intended to influence elections.

Looks like 49 get reelected and 24 possible pickups. DE is a probable loss. Nothing much will change.

AZ-5 looks to me like a race between David Schweikert and Susan Bitter Smith with Schweikert the likely winner. He looks to me to be the more conservative candidate as well.

Here is a link to a recent article on the AZ-5 race:

GOP forum introduces candidates to Ahwatukee voters

I'm going to move Schweikert to the head of the list with Susan Smith second. It would be nice to hear from an AZ Freeper who really knows what the real deal is and could give us "Freeper Endorsement" for AZ-5. But in any case it looks like we have the leading candidates on our list.

Even though my Representative, Tim Holden (17th-PA) voted ‘no’ on the bill, I believe he did so because Pelosi let him, to give him cover.

He supports the 0bamaCare abomination IMHO, and as such I will be working to replace him this November.
