House Targets for 2008
There was a bit of good news this morning from Connecticut, despite all Lieberman's effort to allow Republicans to hold control of the House in Connecticut, all his betrayal appears to have been undone in 2 of the 3 targeted districts. The CT-2 is now ours with only 91 votes. That just leaves one of Lieberman's anti-America allies in the Republican party left standing and he won't be running his campaign in two years. So at the top of the list is the CT-4. The asterisks in this list indicate that they were targeted this year unsuccessfully. So it looks like we are going to be focusing on picking up an additional 50+ seats in 2008. It's going to be the standard split again, the DCCC will be working from a much smaller list and not be interested in any of our races until it looks like we've won them. If you live in one of these targeted districts you need to start getting in touch with the local Democrats and make sure you can plug in early to these campaigns.

What's not on this list and the reason we are going to be pushing a challenger for every seat in the nation is which scandal will take down the corrupt and incompetent Republican party in 2008. So even if your Republican isn't on the bloggers list, you should still plug into the local campaign because you never know which one of them is going to get caught this election cycle and be going to jail giving you a chance for real representation in Congress out of the blue.
