So far, it looks like Mathews, James, Bailey and Hargadon. Can we win in November? Three top Democratic incumbents will face these four - Hoyer, Cummings, and Ruppersberger. Unseating any of those will be real tough, but it's a challenge we RP supporters should embrace. James' opponent is still unclear, but it looks like the incumbent could lose his primary.

When you compare the number of votes the winning Republicans got to the number the winning Democrats got it is not a pretty picture. Looks like we are going to get at least a few Ron Paul nominees, but they are going to have titanic odds to overcome in the general election. Maybe we should all move to Frederick or Carroll county and try to convert Bartlett.

Agreed. They are all going to ride Obama's coattails, aren't they? How many people can we convince to vote for a Republican Congressman who are on the Obama bandwagon?

Is it necessary to play dirty? I know RP doesn't run attack ads, but that may be our only hope. And it may not be enough.
