If Mean Jean couldn't be taken down in 2006 and 2008, two good years for the Democrats, I don't think she'll be very vulnerable in 2010, which I'm sure will be a more favorable year to the Republicans nationwide, including Ohio where Obama's approval ratings are staggering.
It has nothing to do with good years or bad years. Look at her approval rating. It is lowered with every passing election. Look at her opponent. He ran as an independent last year and got 19% of the vote, while she was reelected with 44%.
The democrats in this district are the democrats that didn't even turn out for Obama like others. They're old school Dems that think it's still the party of FDR. There are also next to no blacks. This simply means 2006 and especially 2008 were not that democratic in this district.
Everyone knows that there are not alot of dems in Oh-2, that's why people need to read the platform of David Krikorian, her opponent. All he has got to do is get his message out to the voters and he will win, it will be ugly for Schmidt. He is everything moderates and the conservative, older generation democrats of Oh-2 could dream of.
I don't think she's vulnerable, I just think you hate her so much that you've made it to the point where you think she'd lose.
And you have nothing to back up your claim that she is safe. Other than the fact that the electorate will trend GOP in 2010. You clearly know nothing about Oh-2. It can't get anymore Republican than it is. It does nothing for me to argue with you people- just wait and see.
When you pick up 55 seats over two cycles, it's hard to have one available that you didn't already get.
