Candidate Filing closed – No Candidate – 2 Districts
IL-01 (Rush) – D+34,
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.
353 is a surprisingly high number actually!

However, it remains to be seen whether finding teabaggers to run in 435 districts would actually make a difference in actual numbers in the House.
And when Dean implemented a 50 state strategy, he was open to blue dogs in R+lots districts.
How about Christopher Reed, who ran a over the top negative campaign against Tom Harkin last year and is now one of three GOP candidates in the IA-02 primary (D+7).
It’s not on his campaign website yet, but Reed tweeted yesterday that he got five endorsements over the weekend:
former members of Congress and presidential candidates Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo
National 9-12 Patriots
Minutemen Patriots of America
America’s Independent Party
No joke.
My money’s on Mariannette Miller-Meeks to win the chance for a rematch against Loebsack. Maybe next year she can crack 40 percent.
