Unlucky 7: Big Dems With Big Problems
While the midterm elections are still more than a year away, Republicans are beginning to lick their chops as rising unemployment rates, a record federal deficit and President Obama’s slipping support signal possible double-digit losses for Democrats in the House and key defeats in the Senate.
The GOP is aiming high, hoping to knock off some Democratic leaders, in addition to lawmakers with less seniority. The races are still wide open, and incumbents traditionally are tough to beat.
Here’s a look at seven of the biggest Democrats facing the biggest threats in the upcoming elections.
Harry Reid
The Senate majority leader is trailing two GOP candidates in next year’s race in Nevada.
Danny Tarkanian, a former University of Nevada-Las Vegas basketball player and son of a legendary basketball coach, leads Reid 50 to 43 percent in a hypothetical head-to-head.
Sue Lowden, former chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party who officially launched her campaign Thursday, is leading Reid 50 to 40 percent, according to a recent poll by Rasmussen Reports.
But many political analysts believe Reid will prevail because of his opponents’ lack of prominence.

Chris Dodd
The Connecticut senator, chairman of the Banking Committee and perhaps the most vulnerable Senate Democrat in 2010, is facing the toughest re-election fight of his nearly 30 years in Congress.
Polls show him trailing former GOP congressman Rob Simmons, and he’s also facing competition from Linda McMahon, wife of WWE executive Vince McMahon.
Dodd’s popularity has tumbled in the wake of the financial meltdown and his failed 2008 presidential bid. He provoked a home-state backlash after temporarily moving his family to Iowa before his poor showing in the caucuses there.
Dodd has been criticized for collecting Wall Street contributions while chairing the Senate banking panel. He’s also come under fire for his role in writing a bill that protected bonuses for executives at bailed-out insurer American International Group Inc. and for allegations he got favorable treatment on two mortgages with Countrywide Financial Corp.

John Murtha
The Pennsylvania Democrat, chairman of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, has been dogged by a federal corruption investigation into his ties to a Washington lobbying firm. And he has drawn national attention for being critical of his own constituents, once even suggesting that many of them are racist.
He is facing a well-heeled opponent, the third time since his criticism of the Iraq War gave Republicans ammunition.

Ike Skelton
The Missouri congressman, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, is facing challenges from five Republicans in his first competitive race since being elected in 1976.
His rural district favored John McCain in last year’s presidential election by 60 percent.

David Obey
Obey, a longtime Wisconsin congressman, is chairman of the influential House Appropriations Committee and is considered the architect of the stimulus package that is at the center of a fierce partisan battle over the current economic recovery.
He faces tough GOP opposition from a local district attorney, Sean Duffy, who is a former star of MTV’s reality series "The Real World."
Duffy told the Washington Independent that he’d raised $140,000 for the third quarter, more than half as much as Obey’s challenger raised for the entire 2008 election cycle.

Barbara Boxer
The California senator, who has taken heat in recent months for clashes at Senate hearings, is facing a potentially tough election challenge from prominent businesswoman Carly Fiorina, who is within striking distance in a recent poll.
A Rasmussen Reports poll in the summer showed that Fiorina is trailing by only 4 percentage points in a hypothetical head-to-head with the three-term incumbent. The poll put Boxer’s support in such a face-off at only 45 percent, with 7 percent of survey respondents saying they’re undecided.

Blanche Lincoln
Lincoln took control of the agriculture committee after Sen. Tom Harkin was tapped to lead the health committee following Sen. Ted Kennedy’s death.
Lincoln, a moderate Democrat from Nebraska, is a staunch supporter of government farm subsidies, yet she faces a tough re-election in a decidedly conservative state that President Obama lost by 20 percentage points last year.
Her prospective Republican opponent, state Sen. Gilbert Baker, already has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for his campaign.

Dodd is probably in the biggest trouble.
Reid always seems to snake out a win.
Voters in California and in Murtha’s district are too stupid to vote either of them out.
The rest are a toss up.

I don’t even think the FOX Spin can help or destroy any one or any thing those Republicans that listen to them are a minority now and will stay that way.
Old School MC Service | Oct 17, 2009
Yeah, I know all of them, unfortunately they either live in solidly democratic leaning districts or they are so corrupt that they will be hard to beat, because of corruption !

Fiorina has a better chance at regaining her old HP job (pretty slim) than defeating Boxer.

It seems like it doesn’t matter which political side you are on, there are those who need to go.

I know Ike Skelton. He is one of the most knowledgeable Congressmen on the military and military history. His district has two major military bases with people who know how important it is to our defense to have someone like Representative Skelton in charge of the Armed Service Committee.
Congressman Skelton has tended to be a centrist and pragmatist. His history is that when faced with an imperfect bill that is going to pass to work with the majority (whether or not that majority is Democratic or Republican) to make the bill better for the people of his district.
I also know both of the Republicans running. The brother of the main Republican candidate is a supporter of Congressman Skelton.

Fox is the official news station of the republican party, you do know that they aren’t trustworthy don’t you?

Harry Reid - Gone
Chris Dodd - People in Connecticut are just as stupid as the people in Massachusetts and they have Kerry and Frank and at one time Kennedy so he will most likely stay.
John Murtha - Maybe the biggest Scumbag of them all and maybe ever but the people of Pennsylvania are in a contest with the two states above to see who can elect the most worthless people on earth, so he most likely stay.
Ike Skelton - bye.
David Obey - Stays under the radar will be there like a bad penny.
Barbara Boxer - People in California are to busy trying to keep their head above water so they will vote for an incumbent.
Blanche Lincoln - most likely gone.

Dodd is the only one in some trouble, an Independentt could take it away, but unlikly.

I am a democrat & when I saw Michael Moore’s movie I wanted to get Dodd out of office it made me so mad. But the truth is there are as many republicans who have done the same things that dems have done. I remember when CNN did a show on each person & there were about 10 people they focused on while Fox focuse on 2 which were Frank & Dodd. So this is not accurate. It is like when my husband decided to see how money we were spending each day in cash but he didn’t keep track of everything. His figures were worthless.
Rasmussen was the polling company who always favors republicans & I do not think that is good for republicans except to puff out their egos but they looked like fools running around her bragging a week before the election cause they KNEW that McCain won the election.
I wouldn’t trust fox with anything. They work for the 1% who use the viewers to help them keep living in luxury. If you haven’t seen the Michael Moore movie about Capitalism go see it & you will understand why the republicans are fools. We need the 99% amd some good people from that 1% to come together & stop letting that group rob our country.
I don’t predict anything except miracles happen if they are backed with good reason. The republicans have shown the country they are very hateful & the dems are not going to put up with it cause too many innocent people were harmed during the Bush well, any republican brings suffering to people. Reagan is getting credit for people having jobs when people had well paying jobs & he came in broke up the unions and wife’s who stayed home with kids had to go out to work so 2 people did help the job increase or the extra jobs people got so people can not look at one liners they must look at the whole picture & people can see thanks to technology & better communication that republcans don’t do anything to help anyone except themselves. They lie on their taxes & brag about it them people on here brag they give more when I have seen how dems don’t give so they can deduct.

It’ll be 1994 all over again! Democrats will be on the endangered species list!
crazy_crats | Oct 17, 2009
I don’t know any of them, but from seeing some polls it seems like Reid and Dodd are in big trouble, but Boxer will probably get re-elected, which is awful since Democrats prove to America that they are nothing but racist and hateful and love name-calling people when you don’t agree with their opinions. The rest I don’t know about. Sam, if Fox cannot be trusted, then why are they the highest rated news channel? Newschannels like MSNBC are the ones that cannot be trusted.
