THE LIST

Full disclosure, neither the GOP or the Tea Party put me up to this. I'm not a compensated pundit. I simply loathe and detest 0bamacare with the scalding white hot intensity of 10,000 suns going supernova at the same time....not only for what it contained, but how it was rammed through Congress by a narrow margin and it's backers subsequent crowing about how this was the will of the people. Not only that, the architects and people who signed off on this costly monstrosity thought we, the American people, were so stupid that we'd forget about it completely in a month or two [altho' to be fair, we did have that Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and spill that the Administration handled so marvelously to distract us from HR 3590 and the wonderful economy- NANESB!].


Well, guess again, suckas...

In one sense, the Republican leadership was correct last year in that Healthcare would be 'Obama's Waterloo'. The White House and Democrat-controlled House and Senate won that particular battle, but as any objective poll would indicate, at a very steep price that they're paying right now.

This is a list of those in the House of Representatives who voted in favor of putting more government between Americans and their healthcare providers (some actually had the unmitigated gall to claim they did so as fiscal conservatives) About two afternoons of diving through various websites and archives was the end result of this comprehensive list. This was put together with the help of readily available information at The Washington Post, Cook Political Report and 40 seats (and this actually would've been up sooner if Cook didn't have a doozy of an update today). Races I felt would be competitive with 25 days left are in bold or itlaics.

So without any further ado, I present 'The List':

If you've managed to read/scroll this far, then I might as well include outgoing Congressmen that voted for 0bamacare but aren't running for re-election (lost primary, running for other office, retired, etc.)...comsider it Appendix 1A:

Outgoing Dem/ Dem's. Opponent/ District Rating

Baird (WA-3)/ Jamie Hererra/ Leaning R

Delahunt (MA-10)/ Jeff Perry/ Leaning D

Ellsworth (IN-8)/ Larry Bucshon/ Leaning R

Stupak (MI-1)/ Dan Benishek/ Leaning R

While I'm at it, there were at least three congressional districts that didn't get a chance to vote on 0bamacare, as their seats were vacant when the vote was held in late March. So I guess this would be appendix 1AA regarding the 'special elections' and vacant House seats.

Seat Vacated By/ Dem's Opponent/ District Rating

Abercrombie (HI-1)/ Charles Djou/ Toss Up

Massa (NY-29)/ Tom Reed/ Likely R

Murtha (PA-12)/ Tim Burns/ Leaning D

Full Disclosure: Special Elections were held in HI-1 and PA-12 in May to determine who would fill the vacant seats between May and election day. Djou won in Hawaii, so in that sense he's 'the incumbent' while longtime Murtha staffer Critz won in Pennsylvania.

If you read this far, here's a little 'inside baseball' on the Cook Ratings. At first glance, you might be discouraged to see so many races in the 'Leaning D' category, but it's important to keep in mind that the majority of those races were in the 'Likely D' or 'Solid D' category shortly before 0bamacare passed and 'recovery summer' got underway. Many of the districts that were in the 'Leaning D' category back in March or April became 'Toss-up' or even 'Leaning R' over the last several weeks. And with at least 20 updates just this morning by the nonpartisan analyst that favored the GOP by varying margins (i.e the Democrats will retain some districts, but have to fight much harder and pull away money, outside help and resources from more competitive races) there's likely more to come in the next 3 weeks.

From Cook's latest update:

At today’s writing, the chances of Republican gains in excess of 45 seats are better than their chances of falling short of 40 seats. We currently rate 74 Democratic incumbents as vulnerable, including 28 in the Lean Democratic column, 34 in the Toss Up column, and 12 in the Lean Republican column. Just four Republican incumbents are in real jeopardy.

If you live in or near one of these districts and interested in contributing or volunteering for a campaign, 40 Seats is a good resource attempting to keep track of the more competitive districts, the only problem is that so many of these Congressional districts are souring on the Democrats that it's getting hard for them to update.
