House chairmen in jeopardy

It is indeed telling that many of the most powerful Democratic caucus members are in possible danger of losing their seats and how this relates to the 2010 midterm elections. Although I agree with the author that the chairmen will most likely all keep their seats it highlights a sort of reversal of fortunes that we saw in 2008. In the days leading up to the 2008 election many commentators mentioned that in this election due to the 50 state strategy of Howard Dean the Democrats were competitive in even the most sacred of Republican bastions. Today the Republicans seem to be on the opposite side of the playing field now, or the end zone if you will. If even these men are up for a possible loss it shows how far the Democrats have fallen in popularity.
