Candidate Filing closed – No Candidate – 2 Districts
IL-04 (Gutierrez) – D+32,
So the Republicans have confirmed candidates in 353 districts (with 2 Democrats being given free passes in 2010). Take a look at some of their challengers websites though and your eyeballs will bleed. They also have 7 districts with candidates that are considering a run and 1 district with rumoured candidates.
They also have some huge gaps in California and New York.
They already have a full House slate in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming (we have 23 such states).
They also have but one slot to fill in Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia (we have 8 such states).
And of course there is Illinois where 2 districts won’t have Republican candidates on the ballot in 2010.
Expect candidates to bob up with increasing frequency from here on in.
Any news, gossip or thoughts in the comments please.
More updates soon.
