Rothenberg Lists Bright & Griffith As Most Vulnerable In 2010
















This won't come as a shock to most people, but perennial pollster Stuart Rothernberg listed freshman Alabama Congressmen Bobby Bright and Parker Griffith as two of the four most vulnerable House seats in 2010:
Purely from a statistical point of view, the most vulnerable House Democrats are the four who won election last cycle with less than 55 percent of the vote in districts where McCain scored comfortable wins. That includes Reps. Bobby Bright (Ala.), Parker Griffith (Ala.), Walt Minnick (Idaho) and Travis Childers (Miss.), plus Rep. Frank Kratovil in Maryland's 1st district. Kratovil won with just 49 percent of the vote while McCain was carrying the district with 58 percent.
It should also be noted though that Rothenberg still has Bright's seat listed as "Toss-Up/Tilts Democratic" for 2010 and Griffith's seat as "Leans Democratic"
