#1 Darn it! I'm in Ohio's 8th district, so I don't get to vote for any of them.

This is going to make life very interesting for poor Speaker Pelosi.

#2 Sounds like the Republicans learned something from the last election, when the Democrats put a bunch of veterans up. If they win, it will be interesting to see how all that military blood, on both sides, will start changing the debate in Washington.

#3 They need to smack those freshmen Dems and paint them Pelosi Pink in places where they won red districts. Like Foleys old one in Texas, florida, a bunch in Indiana and Ohio, etc.

#4 These candidates aren't well funded, so far as I can tell, and in at least one case has gotten only the mildest of support from the local GOP apparatus (blue state). Might be worth donating to one or more of them, for those who are so inclined and able. I think even small contributions like the $25 they're asking for would be valued, as would the count of people who took time to do so.

FWIW ;-)

#5 Darn, too, on that 'help' vote TW, primaries on March 4th in Ohio. I'm in the 2nd District with Jean Schmidt doing a great job for us. Right next door to my LtC USMC son and your districts Mr. Boehner, who is the Best of the best...maybe I can send a buck or two to the 18th districts Rep campaign...
