This seat should go to the GOP. All the House members from this area are Republicans.

Rob Bell agrees it should go GOP. Let's hope they nominate just the right candidate who's electable.

Southwest Virginia is trending Republican big time. This is a now a heavily Republican district, according the data provided by those jerks as Daily Kos (who crunch numbers pretty well)

It went 67% for Romney and 65% for Allen in 2012.

Puckett won 53%-47% in 2011, clearly only personal popularity saved him. This should be a gimme with control of the Senate at stake.

Was gonna ping VA Freeper Corin Stormhands to this, but he’s been absent for 3 years, apparently.

Is Puckett the RAT state senator frow SW VA? If so, you’re right, this should be an easy GOP pickup, and the GOP will have control of bothe houses of the VA state legislature until at least the November 2015 elections.
