300 House Districts now have Republican candidates (2 of 2)

Yesterday I took a look at our efforts to recruit House candidates for 2010. This time it is the Republicans.

37! more Districts now have Republican candidates and they are getting wingnuttier all the time.

NV-03 (Titus) – D+2,

OH-16 (Boccieri) – R+4,

Below the fold for all the details (and bring some eyewash) and hey go check out the shiny new 2010 Race Tracker Wiki over at Open Congress for all your House, Senate and Gubernatorial needs.

Also keep an eye out for the great series on Democratic House Candidates by Adam T

As we assumed for us so should we assume for them; so all 178 Republican held districts can be considered filled (although I think we may sneak a win in the NY-23rd Special).

So the Republicans have confirmed candidates in 300 districts. Take a look at some of their challengers websites though and your eyeballs will bleed. They also have 12 districts with candidates that are considering a run and 4 districts with rumoured candidates.

Whilst they are still behind us numerically they have more in ours than we have in theirs, and the gap is ateadily narrowing.

They also have some huge gaps in California and New York.

They already have a full House slate in Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Louisiana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming (we have 15 such states).

They also have but one slot to fill in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,  Mississippi, North Dakota, and Vermont (we have 7 such states).

Expect candidates to bob up with increasing frequency from here on in.

Any news, gossip or thoughts in the comments please.

More updates soon.
