NY-26 has definitely become more interesting.
By all accounts, Reynolds is actually a fairly adept political operator. With him distracted in defense of his seat and, possibly, losing, the RNCC is going to be in even bigger trouble than they already are.
The only problem is that, though, Jack Davis is a formidable candidate, he's a little too conservative for my tastes. He's a true protectionist/industrialist old school GOPer...
In LA-05 Alexander is, of course, safe for now. I'd like to see his seat redistricted, though, to create a minority-opportunity district that picks up Baton Rouge and St. Tammany Parrishes so that the Katrina refugees get some representation.
Its interesting that with Tom Reynolds facing a serious contest, the North Country's Rep. McHugh will be the only GOP representative in NY not facing a serious challenge. Wouldn't it be great if Dems swept NY, CT & Western PA (06, 07, 08, 10)!
