Superribbie, of course, is the dean of the 2006 contest for the House, but I thought I would supplement his work with a list of Republican seats yet to be challenged.
Republicans presently occupy 231 of the 435 seats in the House. One seat is vacant, and one is held by the beloved Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
According to the DCCC and FEC filing reports, 109 of the Republicans' 231 seats remain uncontested. 47.2% of Republican seats are currently not contested. I list these seats below by state, and those listed by Superribbie as potentially competitive seats are placed in italics. The percentage of the vote the incumbent won in 2004 or the last special election is also provided.
Does anyone know who anyone who can run for these seats? Make suggestions in the comments section, please. We need to aggressively recruit D candidates for these seats, especially those emphasized in italics.
