DEL.ICIO.USNo House members from Georgia on GOP ‘death list,’ but Goddard isn’t on a list of possible pick-ups
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There’s a GOP memo floating through Washington, first snagged by U.S. News & World Report then by Politico, that says Republicans could lose up to 34 seats in the House on Nov. 4.
No GOP congressmen from Georgia are on the so-called “death list.” But Politico has this significant paragraph:
National Republicans are confident in their prospects of taking back just one currently Democratic seat — the one held by scandal-plagued Florida Rep. Tim Mahoney. Reps. Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.), Paul E. Kanjorski (D-Pa.), Christopher P. Carney (D-Pa.) and Nick Lampson (D-Texas) are in tossup races, according to the NRCC, and the committee also views the battle for retiring Democratic Rep. Bud Cramer’s seat in Alabama as a tossup.
No mention of the fight for Georgia’s 8th District, which pits Democratic incumbent Jim Marshall of Macon against Republican Rick Goddard, the retired Air Force major general.
