Republicans on the defensive

The polls are jumping back and forth, but they show we're in striking distance in 5-6 Congressional races here in New York.

MyDD got their hands on a leaked memo from the Republican National Campaign Committee that shows which races they're worried about. Here's the edited New York list:

1. NY-26, Rep. Reynolds (R) v. Jack Davis (D-WFP)
2. NY-24, OPEN SEAT Meier (R) v. Michael Arcuri (D-WFP)
3. NY-29, freshman Rep. Kuhl (R) v. Eric Massa (D-WFP)
4. NY-20, Rep. Sweeney (R) v. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-WFP)
5. NY-25, Rep. Walsh (R) v. Dan Maffei (D-WFP)

NY-24 and NY-26 are classified as "4"s, meaning "leaning Democrat; expect to lose most of these seats unless there's serious change." NY-29, NY-20 and NY-25 are classified "2"s, meaning "leaning Republican; if there's a wave, some could be in trouble."

Let's make sure those worries come true. Make an emergency donation to expand our get-out-the-vote plans or sign up to call voters from home this weekend.
