28 Down, 171 To Go


Well, with Rep. Tom Davis' (Rethug-VA) announcement yesterday that he won't run for reelection in his increasingly Democratic district, the count stands at 28 Rethug congressmen not running for reelection this fall, out of 199 Rethugs currently serving. By contrast, only 5 Democrats aren't running for reelection (3 because they're running for Senate seats).

Another telling figure: the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has about $33 million in the bank for the upcoming election, whereas the Rethug counterpart has... er...$3 million. Given the way the Rethug rats are deserting the ship, that might be all they need to defend their seat(s) come November.
