2010 Midterm Elections (view source)
Revision as of 05:06, September 13, 2009
, 05:06, September 13, 2009no edit summary
Suzanne Kosmas defeated three-term Republican Tom Feeney in 2008 by 57 percentage points. However, her victory is in large part because Feeney was tainted with his connections to Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff and 2008 was a Democratic sweep year, meaning Kosmas isn't necessarily favored to win in 2010, in a district that the Cook Partisan Voting Index gives a 4-point advantage for Republicans. Announced Republican candidates include State Representatives Dorothy Hukill and Sandy Adams, and Winter Park city commissioner Karen Diebel.

*'''Jim Marshall (D) of Georgia's 8th congressional district:'''
Blue Dog Jim Marshall was one of the few incumbent Democrats who faced a tough reelection battle in the anti-GOP 2006 midterm elections. Marshall was reelected by a 51%-49% margin over former Congressman Mac Collins. In a district that John McCain won with 56% of the vote and with recent voter outrage over government spending and the deficit being aimed at Democrats, Marshall may face a more difficult reelection in 2010.
*'''John Barrow (D) of Georgia's 12th congressional district:'''
John Barrow, elected in 2004, may be less vulnerable than other southern Democrats. His district is two-fifths African American and favored Barack Obama by 6 percentage points. However, Republicans are targeting his seat. Army veteran Wayne Mosley is seeking the Republican nomination.
