DNC Targets 7 GOP Seats

The Dems have new polling that they say give them thoughts of knocking off seven Republican Congressmen in the mid-term elections. They are not naming names, but it's common knowledge they've got their eyes on three California seats: Reps. David Dreier, Richard Pombo and Randy “Duke” Cunningham.

Dreier beat back a pretty tough challenge last time because of anger over immigration, but it's tough to see how SoCal Dems can capitalize on that. Pombo's on the list because he does such a stellar job of ticking off greenies, but he's got a pretty good hold on his district. Cunningham might be vulnerable, but Kos slips into honesty and puts the news into perspective:

The thing to remember is that Republicans have an incredible ability to close out elections. Things may look good for us even a few weeks out, but lo and behold, they can close those gaps at crunch time.
