Boner's district in Ohio has to have a viable Dem challenger. Remember

any Ohio resident can run they just have to move to the district if they win.

1. So far, looks like he's going to get primaried by a Bagger and have a Dem challanger.

Recently Andrew Hounshell has added his name as a candidate for election to Congress in Ohio's 8th congressional district.

Like Coussoule Hounshell is a veteran, a resume builder in politics, particularly in the generically red 8th district.

He is also a steel worker, which may help in keeping the hearts and minds of what used to be called Reagan Democrats in his fold. Like them, he wonders just where the GOP of old has gone - and why they lied and tricked the people who's support they sought.

According to TPM (Talking Points Memo), John Boehner has attracted a Republican primary challenger next year. Eric Gurr, CEO of a computer consulting firm says he will challenge Boehner, primarily because of two things: Boehner's position on immigration reform and his support for U.S. military involvement in Syria. (Boehner says he supports incremental immigration reform, but Gurr won't have any of that).

2. Looks like the 8th District has been red since 1939

3. Do a better job of getting candidates anyone in the state can run.

4. Why?

If we take back the House, we're much likelier to do so in the remaining Moderate districts. Other than the fact that it might feel good to bring down Boehner, why focus your attention there?

5. There are no moderate districts.
