2008 Pennsylvania 8th Congressional District

The Morning Call reports that former Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick is considering a re-match in the Bucks County seat he lost in 2006. Fitzpatrick joins a large number of ousted Republican congressman who are contemplating a comeback.

Others include Jeb Bradley in New Hampshire 1, Rob Simmons in Connecticut 2, Mike Sodrel in Indiana 9, and Jim Ryun in Kansas 2.

Republicans need 16 seats to regain the majority, and from what I see so far, I am very satisifed with recruitment. Of course Senate Republicans will once again put in a mediocre performance. But I'm used to that.

The Senate will depend on LA, SD, and Arkansas. I will hope they recruit some heavyweight in MT. Other than that my greatest hope is a Hagel retirement to be replaced by the current agricultural secretary.

LorenU:

Mr. McClure: one more observation. The Colorado race will determine the future of the Republican party. A pro-immigration candidate who appears to be a moderate but solid conservative will banish Tancredo and his restrictionists to small fringe party status forever. It would a satisfying win if the anti-immigration faction of the REP party is soundly repudiated.

We need strong Pro-American people to serve to get rid of all of the "Kill America Defeatists". I am not sure that those who lost in 2006 qualify. We need new people.

ironman:

My wife's family is from NE NY and Sweeney is a suboptimal choice. He blew an election in a heavily gerrymandered R district. His personal life was a mess and will not allow him to talk about Gillebriand's lefty record.

I'd like our chances a lot more running this woman against Kirsten
