I often wonder what value I provide the world by giving it lists of vulnerable Republicans. This is my best an attempt at answer. The Stem Cell Research Bill was Thirty Seven votes short of being veto-proof in the house. There are actually 37 Republicans who voted against it . So if Stem Cell Research is your big issue , these are I believe the members you want to hit the most for it. I might be wrong or right. It is merely my best guess. The point is this is how you move issues, as well just partisanship.[I am a partisan so if you want to beat the 16 Democratic opponents of Stem Cell ask someone else. ] It is useful to know when someone votes against their district if you are trying to mount an issue campaign against them. So without further ado, the Republicans who voted against their district on Stem Cell Research.

I posted a very similar list last week, using Republicans who voted against the bill occupying districts with a PVI of R+5 or less: http://www.swingstat…
These folks put their party politics above the best interests of their constituents. May they recieve their just reward (or in their case, punishment) in 2008.
