The Hotline’s Tim Sahd Assesses Which House Seats Are Most Likely To Switch Party Control In 2010
10. Mississippi-01 Travis Childers (D)
Republicans are high on state Sen. Alan Nunnelee’s chances, and so far, that confidence looks to be well-placed. Need confirmation? This week, he announced that his camp raised an impressive $220K in August and September, his first two months in the race. Nunnelee’s also got geography on his side, as he’s from Tupelo, which is a huge bonus here. In his ’08 special election win, Childers could claim that territory as his own because the GOP nominee was from the western part of the CD. That won’t be the case in ’10. And Nunnelee will have Childers’ votes on the stimulus to use against him.
