Concerning Bill Flores in the Texas 17th. On Monday the 12th I sent him a question through his web site. 1) Was he a veteran, and being in the A&M Corps didn’t count, and 2) Where did he stand on amnesty? Not closing the borders but amnesty.

I got no answer so about Tuesday of this week I called his Waco office number, given on his Homepage. A FAX machine answered so I called the Bryan office and got an answering machine where I left a detailed message, telling him I am in a safe Republican district and offering help. NOTHING!

Thursday I get an email asking for a contribution!!

Today (Friday 23rd)I called Waco again, FAX machine. I called Bryan and got the same answering machine.

I emailed him today.

My hope of beating Chet Edwards is sinking fast.

A note to the Key House Races Ping List:

We’re looking for a few people who would be willing to search a couple of news sources (specific ones would be assigned) each morning and evening and gather news articles relating to the election in general and House races in p articular to be linked on Key House Races. If you would do this, freepmail randita. Thanks.

“We’ve added Rothenberger to our list of “Expert Election Evaluators”.”

Don’t you mean Stuart Rothenberg? He, along with Charlie Cook, are two of the best political prognosticators in the business.

Oops. I do mean Rothenberg and it is Stuart Rothenberg. Here is the link to the data we are using:

We have to keep our strength. The more congress and Obama piss us off the more the voting public will vote them out. I HOPE!

It’s a shame that Fitzpatrick is the best we can do in the 8th (PA). When asked if he would repeal healthcare, he hedged and pretty much gave the Dem talking points of saving the “good stuff”.

Please check post 5. It would be a good fit for what you are already doing in Texas.

No worries, thank you for the list, I’m sure it took a lot of time to research and build. Most appreciated.

How can ND and SD have 2 RAT house members and 3/4 RAT senators.

These 2 states are the 2 worst in the union. They give us 6 for the POTUS every election but 5/6 socialist rats for congress.

WHY? What is wrong with these people.

With the house districts gerrymandered in 2000 there are more conservative districts. If we can not win back the house when all members are up in this political environment we are doomed. But with only a few posts here maybe the country fell back asleep after the death care vote

Don't worry about the number of posts.

We've been posting our list once a week for over a month and it is pretty stable now so there is not a lot to comment on that hasn't been said. On those 5 or 6 posts we have had well over 10,000 views and a very healthy posting response. So the word is getting out.

Keep the faith. As the election warms up and the polls start rolling in and the "experts" wake up and start smelling the coffee the interest in this election will be white hot. We're just trying to get out in front of the election before that happens.

Our goal is to help win back the House for the Republicans and to help make certain that the new House members are solid conservatives. Just what we will be doing between now and November is really not certain. We will keep up the KeyHouseRaces.com website as our home, continue to post on FR and try to figure out new and clever ways to defeat the House Dems. All suggestions that support that goal are welcomed.

It puzzles me that FL-2 is predicted to go Dem in the 2010 election. Somebody hasn’t done much research on how much Alan Boyd is detested here.

This district is very conservative and Boyd played that card every election but they are on to him now. (It has been rumored that Boyd is not going to run again....that he has been promised a Dept. of Agriculture job.)

I’m not sure who the leading contender is.

Sad I will take a far left socialist rat over a people who are conservative but are so incompetent and greedy they need other to give them handouts. At least the rat acts as designed.

Those states will be the end of us all.

A few items:

NC-8: I wouldn't list Tim D'Annunzio first. Most of what he's done is make himself look foolish. Being a loudmouth doesn't make him the conservative choice. Ret. Colonel Lou Huddleston has gotten some attention, but it looks like support is coalescing around Harold Johnson.

SD-AL: I would add challenger state rep. Kristi Noem http://kristiforcongress.com/ in one of the "additional" slots.

ID-1: Michael Chadwick? Really?

FL-8: There are at least two bona fide conservative major candidates (state rep. Kurt Kelly, Dan Webster) running, but neither is listed. There are two longshots and Bruce O'Donaghue, who is not terrible but generally considered a more moderate type.

FL-24: I would add Craig Miller http://craigmillerforcongress.com/ to the candidate list since he's likely to finish the primary in the top two; not sure who to boot off, though.

FL-2: Allen Boyd - two L's, one A, one E.

There are a few other races you could include, but maybe give it another month on those.
