GOP eyes offensive strategy for 2010

New election data suggests Republicans have more potential Democratic targets in next year's congressional elections, giving the GOP a chance to begin a comeback after two disastrous election cycles.

Democrats have picked up 54 House seats in the last two cycles – 30 in 2006 and 24 in 2008 – leading Republicans to believe their status in the House can’t get much worse.

Because of that, Republicans believe that if GOP members made it through the last two cycles, they should be safe in 2010, allowing the National Republican Congressional Committee to turn its focus from defending incumbents to trying to pick off Democrats.

Election data recently released by Congressional Quarterly shows 49 districts voted for a Democrat in the House and GOP nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) for president, providing an early cheat sheet of potential GOP targets.

7. the illinois republican party still has`t recover from keye`s loss in 2004

it`s going to take years before the national republican party finds it`s balance. that is not a good thing

8. I thought a number of pukes were not going to run for reelection in '10

and that we had a shot at picking up a couple of their seats?



I think they have already decided that the 2010 election will be a referendum on the Obama administration. Hence the constant attacks on that administration even when those attacks don't make any fucking sense at all.
