So far 16 Democrats cut and run after the Health Care vote.
Congressman Bart Stupak became the latest Democrat to announce retirement rather than face a failing bid for reelection. With his announcement, a total of 16 Democrat Congressmen will be replaced with someone else. Most likely with Republican candidates.
There are also another 10 Democrat seats that are likely to return to Republican hands.
Democrats will now have at least 16 open seats to defend in the fall and most profile as competitive districts. And at least ten are in either marginal or downright hostile territory for Dems; districts that either John McCain carried in ’08 or were marginally for Mr. Obama. – CBSNews.com
While I’m not entirely certain if Congressman Allen Boyd and Congressman Alan Grayson are among those ten, but they definitely need to be.
