Some Republicans are on the endangered list

Reporting from Elk Grove, Calif. — Ami Bera, a first-time congressional candidate, campaigns along the tree-lined streets of the Sacramento suburbs, toting a water bottle and shouldering the hopes of Democrats nationwide.

There is more at stake than personal ambition: A victory could help his party keep control of the House.

Republicans need a gain of 39 seats to take charge, and with dozens of imperiled Democrats across the country, polls suggest the GOP could well succeed. To reach that number, however, Republicans almost certainly must hang on to 10 or so of their own vulnerable seats.

One is held by Bera's opponent, Rep. Dan Lungren, a former state attorney general and candidate for governor. He faces the kind of criticism — too long in Washington, too much of an insider — being leveled mostly against Democrats this election season.

1. This I don't get...Lots of republicans are scared to death

they are not going to get re-elected and this is probably true. So OTHER REPUBLICANS HAVE TO PICK UP THAT SLACK PLUS 39 MORE SEATS. That will never happen in a million years. The republicans are trying to scare Democrats in to showing up to vote. Trying to make them think it is inevitable that they are going to win. THEY AIN'T.
