Watch
Reichert has two additional years to record safe political votes, and his campaign for 2008 began as soon as he took his first votes in the 110th Congress.
Darcy Burner is starting her campaign earlier with the intent to raise more money and her profile. She has the experience of the last campaign to help make her a better campaigner. Ross Hunter has to want this. At this time it is not clear he does. Should he run, he has the potential to be a tough challenger to both Reichert and Burner as he is considered a moderate Democrat and potentially a good political fit for the district. He has the ability to connect with audiences with his friendly and casual approach. Hunter will be the one to watch. Although Ventrella will be familiar to many voters in the region, can he be a viable candidate in this race? If he can prove he can be then the Democratic party will have a very strong primary race should all the candidates stay in it that long. |

Watch
Do we have any work on ad buys or cash on hand for either candidate? The FEC filings are a bit historical at this point...
Do you find this valuable?
