Just wondering what your take was on the 7th and 8th as well.
The 7th isn't the suburbs but much of it is suburban and most likely facing the ugly effects of the mortgage crisis. Wallberg seems to have got in on the trailing end of the hardcore conservative wave and has done little in DC. The website of Democratic challenger Mark Schauer looks about a million times more active than Renier's did in 2006.
Rogers beat Marcinkowski by 10% last time around, but the Democrat was terribly underfunded and received little official support. Don't even know who is running this time around.
I agree with focussing on Knollenberg, but it just seems with some money, volunteers, and a few stops by Barack Obama, all of SE Michigan could be blue.

Rogers is formidable, and as ridiculous as it seems, we cannot seem to field a big-name challenger. I guess Bob Alexander is trying another go at it.
In the 7th, though, Schauer is doing very well. He's raised slightly more money than Peters, and his race is udually given a slightly better chance of a flip. You're right about Walberg, too. The GOP is not at all happy with him and his polarizing politics. I even heard a rumor that the Club for Growth may not be overly excited about keeping him in office.
Peters for Congress (MI-09)
