WI-01: Ryan to face credible Democratic opponent (WSJ)

[Badger]

I still think Ryan is pretty safe, but it would be really cool if in a big Democratic wave Ryan lost his own seat. When was the last time something like that happened?

It's been almost a quarter-century since there was a swing big enough to knock out the speaker.

Foley's district was in Eastern Washington. Why was that even Democratic in the first place?

Spokane. Plus the red state-blue state divide was just beginning when he lost.
