So sorry I posted this here.  I was kind of zoned out and thought I was in Congressional Elections.  Oh well....Anyway, my congressman is John Murtha, who will be reelected, but I will support his Republican opponent.  More hopeful in PA-4, where I hope Melissa Hart can beat out Altmire.

You have praised Isreal many times in the past.  Instead of basing your vote off the actual issues your going to base it off who he supported in the Primary??  I voted for Obama in the Primary and disagree with Israel's choice to support Clinton, but he is a good Congressman and would get my vote if I was in his district.

I will support whoever challenges Jean Schmidt.  God I hate that woman.

Vic Wulsin is running again, isn't she?

Yeah.  I raised 2800 dollars for her last Friday through Actblue.

Of course I am supporting my congressman John Campbell, who distinguished himself by embarrassing Democrats over their earmark follies.

I will be voting for my congresswoman, Marsha Blackburn. (I moved into TN-07 last year)

I'll be voting for Bill Sali (R-ID) if no one else jumps in the race.

Please consider
http://www.salisburyforidaho.org/

How did you know this guy?

I know Bill Sali's reputation and rooted for his '06 primary opponent.  It was one of those very, very rare circumstances where I would have considered voting for a Democrat in order to prevent his election.  I saw Salisbury's website listed on politics1.com - don't know if he has a real shot though.

I've got nothing against my congressman, Mike Capuano.  I voted for him in 2006, and I can't envision a scenario in which I'd vote against him in 2008.

My current Congressman is David Wu. When he's not earning national notoriety for waiting till the last minute to cast one of the few Democratic votes in favor of the profligate 2003 Bush Medicare boondoggle, he's being skewered by The Oregonian for frequent violation of House decorum rules. He once sauntered in to the House floor wearing a Hawaiian shirt!

If anyone's curious, the words "pillow," "college girlfriend," and "Wu," will lead one to some unsavory details about one of my Congressman's past amorous relationships.

I don't know, I think Congress would be a lot nicer if they had casual Fridays.

I will not be supporting Thelma Drake.

Thankfully my Congressman is leaving Congress, and I am supporting Randy Eads to replace him.

I will be voting against the incumbent. He isn't my M.P right now though. Boundary changes.

If we're doing it for the UK, then Conservative Rob Wilson is my MP in Reading East.  Although he largely got in in 2005 based upon the protest votes of Labour supporters who switched to the Lib Dems, I think he will be-relected in 2009/2010 because he has worked hard to entrench himself locally.  Also, if things are particularly bad for Labour I can't see them regaining this seat.  I will be voting Liberal Democrat anyway because I believe they need voters who support them all the time if they want to become a serious third potential party of government.

I really don't know how to vote when it comes to Representative Bruce Braley. I like the guy and he's been an active Congressman, however, I rarely agree with him on anything. Odds are I'll vote for him, if for any reason the GOP has failed to produce any credible opponent to him.

Yes, I'll be supporting my neighbor, Carol Shea-Porter, for a second term.

Currently undecided in the Senate race, however.  My candidate dropped out the other day.

It's Jay Buckey, and he was the only candidate to withdraw in the last few days.

At this point I don't have a Representative in Congress. Ask me after March 8. Wink
