Every cycle, Democrats unveil their strategy to defeat Cong. Clay Shaw (R). And each cycle, the Democratic nominee is turned away. This time, Democrats hope things will be different.
Elaine Bloom (D) came very close to defeating the incumbent back in 2000. But since then, the 22nd District…
Cong. Leonard Boswell (D) is just starting to settle into his new 3rd District seat. But he can’t get too comfortable just yet. After winning reelection in a redistricted seat in 2002, Boswell widened his margin in 2004, defeating GOP attorney Stan Thompson a second straight time.

Some conservatives in southern Ohio are testing the saying that the sins of the father are passed to the son.
The resignation from Congress of recently confirmed United States Trade Representative Rob Portman (R-OH 2) created a surge of candidates – 18 in all – who filed to…
Last fall, southern Indiana lost a member of its delegation, but it was Cong. Baron Hill (D) who went down to defeat in the 9th District, not Cong. John Hostettler (R-IN 8), as some may have assumed.

By all indications, Florida’s 11th Congressional District will host a competitive Democratic primary next year. Only someone living in a hole is surprised that the Tampa-area seat is open, considering Cong. Jim Davis (D) has been a likely gubernatorial candidate for at least two years.
Davis’ January announcement…
Another less than impressive showing by Cong. Jim Gerlach (R) in Pennsylvania’s competitive 6th District almost guarantees him another tough race next year.
In 2002, the scenario was an open seat with Ed Rendell (D) at the top of the ticket running for governor and driving turnout in…
Democrats are searching near and far for any and all potential opportunities, hoping that voters in this second mid-term election will want to send a disgruntled message to President George W. Bush by voting against his party in 2006.

Last November, Democrat Melissa Bean pulled off the biggest upset of the 2004 election cycle. Knocking off 17-term incumbent Phil Crane (R) in Illinois’ 8th C.D. was no easy task. In fact, it took Bean two tries and four years to do it. But for the new congresswoman, there…
