DUers: Can you give updates on hot house races in your areas?

[catgirl]

There aren't a lot of house polls being published nationally. Any good rethug scandals?......

[Saturday]

1. IL 14th Foster (D) vs Hultgren (R)

4 year incumbent Foster (D) holding Hastert's old seat is fighting off Hultgren. The race is called a toss up right now. Foster has 3 times more money than Hultgren and I've seen a couple negative ads on TV from Foster. I'm sure more are to come as we get closer. One ad calling out Hultgren for being against TARP but his company profiting from it. GO FOSTER!

4. Awesome!

Keep exposing these hypocrites to the voters!

2. The polls show Gibbs (R) up 7 points over

Blue Dog Zack Space(D) in Ohio-18. Space is one of the a--holes that wants to extend the tax cuts on the rich, he is DINO anyway.

3. CNN dropped Potosnak v. Lance

But in canvassing? When you get into Bridgewater and Bedminster: affluent singles 25 to 40 - adding in like me? Many of us have moved here in the past 4-7 years to escape the lack of jobs in places like Rochester and Buffalo NY, Cleveland, Detroit . . .

We tend towards Democratic party.

5. Race to the bottom in Texas

Our "Democratic" candidate, Chet Edwards, is a disgrace. I am disgusted by his commercials -- he isn't even running against his GOP opponent Bill Flores -- he's running against Obama and Pelosi.

I may be a Yellow Dog Democrat, but I won't vote for Edwards.

6. My district (WA-3) looks like it's going to flip to Republican

Brian Baird is retiring and 2 SUSA polls have Herrera (R) leading Heck (D) by 9 and 13 points. Nate has the odds of this district being taken over by the Pubs at 80%. I suppose anything can happen in the next 5 weeks, but I'm not too hopeful.

8. I'm more hopeful about your district than you are. I don't trust SUSA polls

in WA this season. Did you read the internals? They make no sense. The DCCC released their Heck polling which shows a much closer race and that was before Herrera put her foot in it about Social Security--first she favors private accounts, then she doesn't and then the news broadcast old clis of her espousing privatization. Her numbers weren't good with the older crowd before. I'm sure they are worse now.

The Washington Poll will be out in October and I believe they are polling on this race.

9. Greenburg, Quinlan Rosner poll has Heck behind Herrera by 3

with Herrera at 47 and Heck at 44. Poll was a live poll of likely voters (cell & land lines)in the field Sept 15 & 16. In mid-June the GQR poll showed Heck behind by 7.

The SURVEYUSA poll found young voters favoring Herrera heavily. I suspect that is in part because only the very conservative young have landlines. Both GQR polls found young voters tending Democratic by large margins and found seniors heavily favoring Heck. Herrera did much better with the 35-55 crowd and does better with men than women in all polls released so far.

7. People just grow things in hot houses around here, during winter months

I've never heard of anyone racing in one.

11. In the Washington state senate race, Murray (D) is slightly

ahead of her challenger, Rossi (R-Fuckwit).

Sorry, I misread the post title, and didn't see you were asking specifically about house races. That's what I get for reading and watching football at the same time.

12. Tomorrow nite is the big debate between Glassman and McCain....

I can't wait to see this young, promising Democrat debate Gramps. Hoping beyond hope that Rodney kicks butt and the polls begin to change.

13. I'd love to see that!

14. OH 1 is going to get rid of the Dem and elect the Republican Chabot.

That fucking cocksucking bag of puss. He only cares about gay marriage and abortion.

15. Chandler is up by 14 over Andy Barr in KY-6
