Looking ahead to 2008

[Adlai Stevenson]

The Republicans are obviously going to target GA-8 and GA-12.  Marshall and Barrow survived by 51%-49% this year and in 2008 with a Republican presidential candidate at the top of the ticket they would clearly stand to lose.  I also think the GOP will target TX-22. 

The Democrats missed out on several Districts that its arguable they won't make competetive again in places like Nebraska, Wyoming and Idaho.  In two years time they could well be out of reach.  I think that PA-6 will once again be a Democratic target in 2008. 

Any other thoughts?

The Wyoming race is far from over. I just read that Trauner has taken the lead.

I suspect Bradley and possibly Bass will run again for their old NH seats.  Bradley will probably win.   I could see Melissa Hart running for her old seat again, but I think Altmire will squeak by.

Beyond two things it is too early to tell anything. These two things are:

1. Expect a lot of GOP retirements in the House and (depending on recounts) the Senate.
2. Expect some of the more fluke-ish Democratic winners to lose. But not all.

I highly doubt it. NH-02 is a Democratic district and Hodes will probably hold the seat for a long time.

Jeb Bradley is a goofball and his days as a politician are probably done.

PA-08 has to be one of the GOP's top 10 targets...thats not to say they'll win it...given demographic changes and the presidential election...but 50-50 in a bad republican year...likely means that race will be competitive at the least.
