As Dt points out below, it is a stretch to think of these guys as "vunerable". But you have to wonder about a district that votes for Kerry in a landslide, but returns an R to Dover year after year.
Can't the Dems manage to oppose Roger Roy this year? Isn't he chronically involved in some kind of double-dipping thing?

I only included RD's that voted for Kerry in a big way. On the map, the 20th look pretty solidly R. But If anybody has any news about Roger Roy I'd be more than happy to talk this race up as a possible take away.
Delathought- You have no idea what you are talking about - Ulbrich is on the JFC. And anyone Republican can do well in Brookside and other working class areas of the 25th RD over a union democrat isn't going to have problems at the ballot box any time soon.

In the same way that Republicans say democrats suffer from "pre 9/11" thinking, I think you may find you are suffering from "pre George Bush" thinking.
More democratic challengers means the R's will have to spread money around in ways they never had to before. Because of republican mismangement in Washington, party affiliation will play a bigger role in these races then in the past.
I'm not predicting control this year, but after November ask me about 2008.

It's also fun to watch inexperienced R candidates running campaigns with the usual national GOP themes. Doesn't work in Delaware.

I used to split my ticket, until the Clinton Whitewater/impeachment witchhunt. Then I started voting straight Democrat. It's still not time to start splitting my ticket again.

Anon's vote may not be "earth-shattering" but as Robert Kennedy said:
"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
Your electoral calculus regarding JFC and getting local kickbacks assumes that everyone puts their parochial needs ahead of the needs of society. You should have gathered by now that not everyone is a republican.

DiPinto thinks it would be just ducky to have a "video lottery" casino on the Wilmington waterfront. The hated Governor had the smoking ban passed, and the gross-receipts tax cut was pure corporate welfare. I'll have to get back to you on the sexual orientation civil rights bill.
I guess the PA voters who thought that Arlen Specter (with his seniority) would be better for them than a mere freshman are feeling like a bunch of suckers right now.

Nah...
Not unless you are talking about ad hominem attacks. I knew that last one was not going to fly.

I pray that Valihura gets dumped. I'd spend the rest of my life thanking God if Thurman Adams got dumped.
So the summertime A/C bills will be rolling in around election season... Honestly, I wasn't paying attention back then and I don't remember -What was the roll call on the power deregulation? Who supported it? Who will the voters blame?
"Gov. Ruth Ann Minner set up a committee of her Cabinet members to look at legislative changes that could reduce the impact of rate hikes, Minner spokeswoman Kate Bailey said. That committee will report back to Minner in March."
Thank God, I was afraid she was doing nothing.
