An excerpt...
"If it's Friday, it's time for The Fix's latest Line. This week it's time to assess the 2006 battle for the House, where Republicans look likely to retain the majority given the (still) relatively small number of competitive seats.
Democrats have several months to fill slots in toss-up races and must do so if they want to make a believable argument as to why they can wrest back control. Again, the No. 1 ranked race is the most likely to switch parties, the 10th ranked race is the least likely (of the contests mentioned) to switch. Comments, criticism and queries are welcome.
Without further ado, the House line:"
1. Colorado's 7th District: -- OPEN: Rep. Bob Beauprez (R)
2. Georgia's 8th District: -- Rep. Jim Marshall (D)
3. Iowa's 1st District: -- OPEN: Rep. Jim Nussle (R)
4. Pennsylvania's 6th District: -- Rep. Jim Gerlach (R)
5. Illinois's 8th District: –- Rep. Melissa Bean (D)
6. New Mexico's 1st District: -- Rep. Heather Wilson (R)
7. Ohio's 6th District -- OPEN: Rep. Ted Strickland (D)
8. Florida's 22nd District: -- Rep. Clay Shaw (R)
9. Georgia's 12th District: -- Rep. John Barrow (D)
10. Indiana's 9th District: -- Rep. Mike Sodrel (R) |
