Re: The Question Is ... (none / 0)

The data does reflect a few, select Republican seats that will be competitive in '06.  

I would suggest:

  1. That those most familiar with these competitive seats let everyone know who the best/strongest/most-likely-to-win candidate is in the district and urge them to run.

  2. Support these candidates in any avenue possible, from urging those in the area to volunteer to providing funds to their effort.

I think Dems should follow the lead of Mellisa Bean, and that a large number of rematches are in order. Historically, this hasn't proved to be all that effective, but lately, since when is history any sort of accurate indicator as to what's effective or accurate.  I'd like to see the Democratic challengers of 04 all go for rematches in 06, in these CD's:

CT 4(Ferrel), MN 6(Wetterling), NC 11(Keever), IL 6(Cegelis), PA 6(Murphy), they all ran great races against GOP incumbents, could start off with single-digit differences.

MN-6: Expect Kennedy to run for Senate against Dayton in 2006. If he does, and Wetterling runs again, it's a toss-up at worst and a top pickup opportunity.

What are the enrollmnt numbers for those districts?

And which of these districts have a history of voting democratic in elections for other offices?
