31. No, he's not nearly as clever as DeLay.
McHenry is just plain stupid. DeLay (and I hate to say anything positive about him) does have a brain.

20. Heather Wilson
from NM. She is really offensive to me. She's smug and sarcastic. :puke:

From my own state there's Doolittle. He's a tool but could probably get caught with his pants down with someone of any persuasion and still win. :puke:

24. Now that's an awesome nomination
I've grown to despise her smugness on Hardball. She should have been gone in 2006, other than our nominee whiffing the last debate.

Lost in a primary? But if not, yeah, she's gotta be up there.

So she is gone. Thanks for reminding me. That's one less headache. :)

41. So losing gets you to
be a spokesmodel for GOP BS? Wouldn't the GOP have just a tad bit more credibility having someone talk who actually won? Just sayin'.

I hope someone interrupts her one of these days with, "You lost. You have nothing to offer."

21. The three contested seats in South Florida, plus NV-2 and NV-3
Edited on Sun Oct-12-08 10:31 PM by Awsi Dooger
Those are the places I live or spend the most time so naturally I want them to go blue. Dina Titus has an excellent chance to oust jackass Jon Porter in NV-3. Jill Derby is an almost certain rematch loser to Dean Heller in NV-2, but hell for this thread I'll dream.

The Miami races are very interesting although the GOP generally has the advantage. I think the Hialeah race is our best opportunity but admittedly I've just started to look at them and I might have the specifics confused. For the first half of the year I was in Miami and those races got tons of focus.

25. CATHY MCMORRIS, Washginton Dist. 5
If Washington were a red state, McMorris would be a senator running as VP right now. McMorris is Palin jr. If McCane' and Phalin some how manage to win/cheat, this *woman from eastern Washington would get a cabinet position.

29. My favorites would be....
MI 11: Thaddeus McCotter
MI 7: Tim Walberg
MI 9: Joe Knollenberg

I think two of the three will be defeated. Unfortunately, my Congressmen (McCotter) will probably stick around. I haven't heard or seen anything from his Democratic opponent. It would be big upset if McCotter lost...I'll cross my fingers.

34. STEVE KING
Iowa 5th District deserves better than Steve King. Hell, Iowa deserves better than Steve King. Probably the most insane congresscritter in the Republican Party, and that is saying something.

Then again, he is MY congresscritter... :mad:
