Growing Number of GOP Seats In Doubt

Growing Number of GOP Seats In Doubt:

"VIRGINIA BEACH, May 19 -- When some of the country's top political handicappers drew up their charts of vulnerable House incumbents at the beginning of this year, Rep. Thelma D. Drake (R-Va.) was not among them. Now she is.

President Bush carried her district with 58 percent of the vote in 2004, but strategists say his travails are part of the reason the freshman lawmaker now has a fight on her hands. He swooped into town briefly Friday for a closed-door fundraiser for Drake but made no public appearances." (Wonder if Thelma appreciated the Pariah from Texas showing up and reminding everyone of who heads her party?)
