Republican vulnerability in House races may be growing

http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,635209216,00.html

Despite polls showing rising support for Democrats and scorn for Republicans, analysts have said Democratic hopes for big gains remain remote, because so few seats are in contention.

That appears to be changing.

Over the past week, a handful of once-safe Republican congressional seats have come into play, and other Republican incumbents are facing increasingly stiff re-election battles, according to analysts, pollsters and officials in both parties. The change amounts to a slight but significant shift in the playing field, and a potentially pivotal change in the dynamics of this midterm election.

Conyers represents one of the most crime ridden districts in the country: the east side of Detroit. People there live in barred homes. Drugs are plentiful. The police don't prevent crime, they just do the paperwork after it happens.

You'd think he'd be interested in cleaning it up?

No, not Conyers. He just wants to get Bush.

Yeah?
According to "analysts" eh?
Oookkay.

Read this extract from Realclearpolitics:

"The most interesting contrarian countersign is how well Republicans seem to be doing in several close races, and even in some contests where they should not be competitive. Senate seats now held by Democrats in Minnesota, New Jersey, Maryland and Washington are now close. Governorships now held by Democrats in Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania could be turned over to Republicans. Enough house seats that will be necessary for Democrats to win to take control next year have so far not visibly materialized."
