Thinking Pike v. Schroder?  D's SHOULD pick Dinniman.  Win this seat once and for all.

Not sure about the Dem side but, yeah, we're probably going with Curt.

Cao, Kirk, and now Gerlach... the R's aren't helping their own chances to take back the house with these 3 likely flips.

I didn't think Cao has announced yet that he won't be seeking reelection.

Well, as for Cao, he might as well be getting his resume out to K Street.  As for PA 6, it would lean Dem by default but I don't know too much about Doug Pike.  I have heard of Curt Schroder though and the Dems should coax Andy Dinniman to run.  I don't know much about IL-10, but it sounds a lot like a PA 6/7/8 or even an NJ-3 type district.

With the exception of Cao I think IL-10 is the most Dem leaning district held by a Repub giving Obama 61%. Luckily we have a candidate who represents a State House District that went to Obama with 60%, and she is top drawer fundraiser. But since there will likely be a primary challenger and that this is the ILL GOP we are talking about, there is a good chance that they could f**k it up as usuall.

What about this Curt Schroder fellow? How is he at fundraising, how well does he fit the district, and finally what is current position?

Its tossup/tilt Democratic.  Just look at the Obama vote in the district, 58%-41%.

Delaware's at-large is likely to flip as well as Castle probably won't be running for reelection

Obama's totals in Illinois overstate the Dem lean of the district. But this still may beat out all but a few others on Kerry numbers...

The only Republicans left in Kerry districts are Cao (75-24), Kirk (53-47), Castle (53-46), Gerlach (52-48), Reichert (51-48), and possibly Dent (50-50).

Let's see... you had Leach and Nussle, the three Connecticut Republicans, Beauprez, Northup, Heather Wilson, Fitzpatrick, that guy that Ron Klein beat, Bass, Weldon, and I think that's it. So, 18 or so? C'est la vie.

I realize this is a discussion about PA-06, but since we're on the discussion of congressional districts voting the opposite way from their CPVIs or incumbents, here's a list I found - don't know if it warrants any merit or discussion.

Republican Districts Won By Obama
• LA-02 (Joseph Cao - New Orleans) - Obama 74.13, McCain 24.86 = D + 49.27 (D+25)
• DE-AL (Mike Castle - Delaware) - Obama 61.91, McCain 36.93 = D + 24.98 (D+7)
• IL-10 (Mark Kirk - North Chicago Suburbs) - Obama 60.92, McCain 38.13 = D + 22.79 (D+6)

• MI-06 (Fred Upton - Kalamazoo) - Obama 54.12, McCain 44.18 = D + 9.94 (R+0)
• IL-13 (Judy Biggert - Chicago Suburbs) - Obama 54.21, McCain 44.60 = D + 9.61 (R+1)
• OH-12 (Pat Tiberi - Columbus Suburbs) - Obama 54.15, McCain 44.62 = D + 9.53 (D+1)

This isn't lean anything yet unless Dinniman runs.





Its tossup/tilt Democratic.  Just look at the Obama vote in the district, 58%-41%. 

And that was 2008. Believe it or not, guys, but never every election will be like that! Also, it was a Presidential election year with Barack Obama leading the ticket. Guess who won't be leading the ticket in 2010. Guess how low turnout will be.

Don't tell me it's "tilt Democratic" when you don't even know who the Dems are running.

It is an increasingly Dem district.  Even in bad years like 2002 and 2004, Democrats came within a whisker of picking up the seat before it had trended more Democratic.

So why couldn't they in good years like 2006 and 2008?
