G.O.P. Widens Targets for Picking Up House Seats

ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio – Republicans are expanding the battle for the House into districts that Democrats had once considered relatively safe, while Democrats began a strategy of triage on Monday to fortify candidates who they believe stand the best chance of survival.

As Republicans made new investments in at least 10 races across the country, including two Democratic seats here in eastern Ohio, Democratic leaders took steps to pull out of some races entirely or dramatically cut their financial commitment in several districts that the party won in the last two election cycles.

4. I remember when McCain decided to go to Pennsylvania and

try and win that!

I'm sure the pundits will use it to further demoralize the Dem base,
after all, that's the only way that the Republicans can win.....
and we all know that 99% of the pundits are rootin' for them.
