Reps. John Hall of Dover Plains and Kirstin Gillibrand of Hudson, the Hudson Valley’s two freshman Democrats in Congress, have known since they were elected last November they would be among the top targets of the Republican Party in 2008.
But Democrats also have several Northeast Republicans they think they can unseat in the next election, including three in upstate New York, noted Congressional Quarterly in an analysis published yesterday. The targets: Reps. Jim Walsh, Randy Kuhl and Tom Reynolds.
CQ rates Hall and Gillibrand as facing races that “lean Democratic’’ at this point. Walsh and Kuhl have races that “lean Republican,’’ while Reynolds has a “Republican favored’’ race.
According to CQ, “The ratings ‘leans Republican’ and ‘leans Democratic’ mean that the named party appears to have at least some edge in the contest, but that an upset is a realistic possibility.’’
