Updating That List of Sleeper Races

Last Week, we compiled a list of potential sleeper races while expressing the need to swing for the fences so we don't leave any seat behind.  Based upon some news report this week, I would ad these few districts.  Anyone who lives in these districts may want to send some $$$ to these donkey tormentors.

MD-2: Dutch Ruppersberger (D+7)- Donate to Marcelo Cardarelli here
MD-5: Steny Hoyer (D+7)- Donate to Charles Lollar here
MI-5: Dale Kildee (D+7)- Donate to John Kupiec here

I like Cardarelli and I live in MD-02 - but do you think he can pull it off? I certainly hope so, Ruppersberger is a liberal's liberal and I would love to see him out of office.

For the record - I think the biggest sleeper race is CA-08. That's right - Nancy Pelosi's District. While she ignores her constituents, John Dennis has been building up steam. He's a fairly hardline fiscal conservative and, while not with us on social issues - is excellent on the economic issues of today. If he can beat Pelosi, any race is winnable.
