Democrat Zack Space was elected to Congress twice by wide margins, despite representing one of the most rural and conservative districts in Ohio. In 2008 his Republican opponent received just 40% of the vote in a two-man race. Republicans plan to put up a more serious challenge in 2010. There is no shortage of announced Republican candidates, including State Senator Bob Gibbs, former State Agriculture Department director Fred Dailey, attorney Jeanette Moll, and businessman Patrick Carlisle.

*'''Dan Boren (D) of Oklahoma's 2nd congressional district:'''
Democrat Boren was reelected by three landslides in 2004, 2006, and 2008. Yet Oklahoma's 2nd district is a Republican stronghold. The National Republican Congressional Committee list him as one of 70 targets for 2010. Boren is arguably the most [[conservative Democrat]] in Congress. He is [[pro-life]], a lifetime member of the [[National Rifle Association]], supports replacing the federal sales taxes with a [[flat tax]], and refused to endorse [[Barack Obama]] in the [[2008 Presidential Election]].
