Swing State Project has done some serious tallying. Some notables:

  • AK-AL: Ethan Berkowitz (D) $277K, corrupt incumbent Don Young (R) $132K.
  • AL-03: Joshua Segall (D) $273K, ineffective incumbent Mike Rogers (R) $104K. Cash on Hand, Segall has $224K to Rogers' $96K $957K. And in Alabama, no less.
  • AZ-03: The wingnuts love them their John Shadegg. In fact, Shadegg was their top choice for House Minority Leader before Boehner pulled it off. Shadegg retired, but then un-retired after getting pressure from desperate Republicans. Perhaps he should've stayed retired: Bob Lord (D) $220K to Shadegg's $151K. Lord is even creeping closer on CoH -- $938K Shadegg to $632K Lord. I'm really liking this race.
  • Check out the three South Florida Democrats that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been trying to sabotage on behalf of her anti-Cuban patrons:

    FL-25: Mario Diaz-Balart (R-inc) $257K, Blue Majority candidate Joe Garcia (D) $331K
    FL-21: Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-inc) $535K, Raul Martinez (D) $617K
    FL-18: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-inc) $100K, Annette Taddeo (D) $137K

  • IL-10: Mark Kirk (R-inc) $738K, Blue Majority candidate Dan Seals (D) $613K. Seals has a 3-1 deficit in CoH, but he's going to have enough to compete.
  • MI-07: Tim Walberg (R-inc) $265K, Mark Schauer (D) $323K. In fact, Schauer leads the incumbent in CoH $751K to $604K.
  • MO-06: Sam Graves (R-inc) $239, Kay Barnes (D) $396K. Also, Barnes has nearly closed what used to be a large CoH gap.
  • MT-AL: Denny Rehberg (R-inc) $107K, Jim Hunt (D) $133K. Big 5-1 CoH disparity, as Hunt just got in the race.
  • NY-20: Freshman Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand is a fundraising machine -- $557K raised last quarter, $2.47 million CoH, among the best (if not the best) of the newly elected Dems. Watch her end up in the leadership before long.
  • OH-02: Mean Jean Schmidt (R-inc) $187K, Vic Wulsin (D) $280K. Wulsin also leads in CoH $212K to $177K.
  • PA-07: freshman Dem and former Netroots candidate Joe Sestak isn't far behind Gillibrand -- $634K raised last quarter, $2.26 million CoH.
  • WA-08: This one is particularly sweet: Dave Reichert (R-inc) $240K, netroots hero Darcy Burner (D) $517K. Even sweeter are the CoH numbers -- $923K for Burner, $698K for Reichert.

There are a LOT more great numbers on that list. They're almost universally good for Democrats.
