1. Strickland taking over Portman's seat in Ohio would be a nice thumb in the eye

to Boehner, Kasich, and the rest of the overly red political officeholders of Ohio.

2. Speaking of Boehner

Any chance he gets caught in a $@% scandal like his predecessor Hastert.

3. Sadly, his predilections aren't considered 'scandals' in politics.

Drinking, smoking, tanning, taking money from lobbyists. All perfectly normal for Congresscritters.

5. His name coincides with a scandal.

Popping a Boehner with a John. His predecessor in the United States House of Rep-Buz Lukens was also caught in a scandal similar to what Hastert is involved in.

6. Walden would be hard to beat

The 2nd CD is very conservative and covers southern, eastern, and parts of central Oregon. I actually grew up in that particular district.

The one I'd like to see a target on is Schrader in CD-5. He needs to be primaried.

7. Pa is a strong likely hold for Toomey

I like Sestak A LOT.

I think he is a darn good man, exactly what want in a senator.

But, he couldn't beat Toomey the last time and Toomey is now an entrenched incumbant.

Pa is a pretty much break even state, and had a bit of a democratic push the last major election to out a hated republican governor who was on the wrong side of the PSU mess.

Unless Hillary/Bernie have major Obama first election like coat tails, Sestak isn't beating that smarmy POS.
