Special Congressional Elections

[Adlai Stevenson]

Given the current climate and the fact that the Republican field in GA-10 is very crowded, I would give Nathan Holley a very small chance of making a run-off with a Republican - a chance in itself.  His winning is another question. 

[Adlai Stevenson]

MA-5 voted 57%-41% for John Kerry in 2004 and 57%-36% for Al Gore in 2000.  In 2006, Martin Meehan was re-elected unopposed after winning 67%-33% in 2004. 

GA-10 was renumbered in the most recent Georgia Congressional redistricting, before that it had been the 9th District and voted 72%-27% for Bush in 2004 and 66%-32% for him in 2000.  In 2006, the late Congressman Charlie Norwood was re-elected 67%-33% over Nathan Holley, who is now running in the special election.

The last Democrat to lose in MA-5 was John Kerry.

Was that when George McGovern was carrying at the same time?
