Mean Jean's seat is in danger? Priceless!!!
Republicans worried about Schmidt?

The National Republican Congressional Committee could be nervous about yet another congressional seat that should otherwise be safe Republican territory. This time, it's perpetually targeted Ohio Republican Rep. Jean Schmidt's Second District that is causing the GOP heartburn.

The NRCC spent $11,000 to commission a poll from McLaughlin and Associates in Schmidt's district, which runs east of Cincinnati along the border with Kentucky, according to new Federal Election Commission filings. Schmidt won election to her first full term in 2006 by just 2,500 votes after surviving a special election in 2005 by a tiny 52%-48% margin.

That's far too close for comfort in a district that gave President Bush a nearly two-to-one margin in 2004. And with Schmidt's 2006 opponent, physician Victoria Wulsin, in a much better financial position now than she was two years ago, it's no wonder the GOP is worried. The party also reserved $485,000 in advertising time to defend Schmidt, an equivalent of more than 2200 points.

a brain-addled GOP robot with a mean streak a mile long.

I would really love to see voters in that district finally send Schmidt out the door. They have a great candidate in Victoria Wulsin.

4. Wulsin is getting a lot of donations from traditionallyu GOP givers
from Cincinnati.

I think they were embarassed by Ken Blackwell down there. Cincy could be in a mood to throw all GOP'ers out this year.
