While it is quiet on the presidential front, the pot is really boiling in the House. And it is nearly entirely Republicans who are being cooked. Between scandals and retirements, many GOP House seats are going to be unexpectedly in play in 2008, greatly reducing the chances the Republicans can pick up the net 16 seats they need to wrest the gavel from Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). The 2008 election could easily be a replay of 2006, with the Democrats picking up another 20+ seats. Here are some of the new developments, but for a discussion of all the top races see our Hot House Races page, which is updated whenever there are new developments.
In the past week, three long-term Republican House members have announced their retirement. These are Deborah Pryce ( OH-15 ), Dennis Hastert (IL-16), and Chip Pickering (MS-03). Pryce is the #4 person in the House leadership and won her 2006 by barely 1000 votes against a relatively unknown county commissioner, Mary Jo Kilroy. Well, Kilroy has announced she is trying again, and with much better name recognition and a much weaker opponent, she has at least an even chance to pick up this seat.
Hastert used to be Speaker, of course, but was forced out of the leadership by all the scandals in the 109th Congress. While his district leans Republican, in 2006 the Democrats picked up three House seats in neighboring Indiana that were much redder than his. So far, nobody has announced for Hastert's seat.
Chip Pickering (MS-03) comes from a deeply Republican district. There is likely to be a primary fight there, because whoever wins the primary is sure to be elected to Congress.
Two other Republicans who previous announced retirements are Ray LaHood (IL-18) and Duncan Hunter (CA-52). These districts have PVIs of R+5.5 and R+9.3, so with a decent candidate, the Republicans should be able to hold them.
All eyes are now on Ralph Regula (R OH-16), who may well decide to call it quits after 18 terms. He would be 86 at the end of a 19th term. Regula has been in the House so long and is so popular personally that no one knows what would happen with an open seat. What is known is that Regula almost always way outperforms the Republican presidential nominee--in effect, the presidential candidate gets a free ride on the congressman's coattails. His retirement could conceivably cost the Republican presidential nominee thousands of votes in crucial Ohio.
Another potential retiree everyone is holding his breath about is Sen. John Warner (R-VA), but see the Senate page for that story.
While not an announced retiree, Jo Ann Davis (R VA-01) was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and had a mastectomy. Her cancer has returned and she is now undergoing treatment. She also underwent urinary tract surgery in February and has missed 85% of the votes in the House this year. If health issues force her to retire, her eastern Virginia district will be in play.
Corruption is also going to be an issue in numerous House races. On the Democratic side, Dollar Bill Jefferson (the Louisiana congressman who had $90,000 neatly wrapped in his freezer) is still under indictment, but two weeks ago a judge ruled that the FBI's search was illegal, so the government's case is appreciably weakened and in LA-02 (New Orleans), which is heavily Democratic, he might survive.
Three Republican congressmen are under investigation for corruption as well. Rick Renzi ( AZ-01 ) and John Doolittle ( CA-04 ) were forced off their committee assignments already. Don Young (AK-AL), who has been in Congress since before there were polar bears in Alaska, is being investigated for taking bribes. This scandal is rapidly expanding and could take down both Young and Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) as well. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), chairman of the DCCC, is trying to recruit Anchorage mayor Mark Begich to challenge Young. Young won the seat after the incumbent congressman, Nick Begich (Mark's father) disappeared after a plane crash while campaigning. The major problem Van Hollen is facing is Chuck Schumer, chairman of the DSCC, who wants Begich to challenge Stevens. No matter who wins this fight (and I am betting on Schumer), Young's future looks iffy.
All in all, the House races are definitely heating up. For more on possible retirements, see the Swing State Project.
Now for the presidential race. Here are 16 new polls. What do they show? Hillary is gaining everywhere and has commanding leads in almost every state. Even in Iowa she is playing catch up.
The Republican race is more exciting. Noncandidate Fred Thompson is actually ahead in three states now: Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan, and within the margin of error in four more: Iowa, Missouri, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. When he announces in about 2 weeks, he'll probably get a bump. Meanwhile, Giuliani is still ahead in most states, but his lead is far more tenuous than Hillary's. McCain is in the toilet. His position on immigration is just anathema to too much of the Republican base. Romney may get a lift from his win in the Ames straw poll, but since nobody else was running, it may not be much. At the moment, it looks like a two-way race between Giuliani and Thompson, but that could easily change.
