The National Republican Congressional Committee, the political and
fundraising arm of the Republican House of Representatives Caucus, has
been ambitiously sending out regular press releases to media outlets
in the districts of Democrats that they view as fertile for Republican
pick-ups. In the latest round of press releases, both of Iowa's
freshmen Democrats made their way into the sights of the NRCC. In a
recent press release that notes many Democratic members of Congress
have voted to give housing assistance to illegal aliens, Dave Loebsack
and Bruce Braley are listed as culprits. At this point in time, no big
name Republican has stepped forward to challenge either man from what
I can tell. Both districts, at this point in time, are uphill battles
but cannot be viewed as complete write-offs.
