Targeted Seats and the Quarterly Campaign Finance Deadline

Saturday marks the end of quarterly campaign finance reporting period, as you are no doubt well aware if you are on any congressional representatives email lists. I've been getting hints, invitations, and outright requests, and I did drop a few coins in at least one bucket.

If you are so inclined, here are the Pennsylvania congressional seats that have been targeted by one party or the other as potential wins.

Republicans have targeted the four freshmen Democrats and will be trying to win those seats back( links to the contribution page on their campaign website or you can use ActBlue):

Jason Altmire (PA-4)
Chris Carney (PA-10)
Patrick Murphy (PA-8)
Joe Sestak (PA-7)

Democrats think they have a shot at these incumbent Republicans (sorry, I'm just not nonpartisan enough to provide links -- if you want to donate to these folks you'll have to google them. Please note that ActBlue has set up accounts for these seats even though there isn't a declared Democratic candidate, so you do have some options here):

Charlie Dent (PA-15)
Jim Gerlach (PA-6)

I guess the GOP doesn't realize 2008
is a presidential election year which will draw more Dems than ever out to vote for Democratic candidates. If the GOP couldn't hold these seats in 2006, especially the 4th and the 8th,
they're not going to get them in '08.

PD, I've been seeing polls showing that at least one GOP presidential hopefuly wins against the current Democratic frontrunner. But, it's a long time until Nov. 2008. That first re-election is the toughest so the GOP will be gunning for all of those seats. Unless the state gets completely distracted by the presidential race I expect it to get very nasty very quick.
