Al Cross, the top political columnist in Kentucky, updates the state of Kentucky's 2006 contests for the US House here. He's particularly focused on challengers to US Representatives Ron Lewis and Geoff Davis. Both Republicans who come from districts where President Bush did very well in 2004. But both have flaws that could be taken advantage of if Democrats recruit the right candidate. Lewis's opponent is likely to be state Rep. Mike Weaver, a retired Army colonel, and there is talk of Davis being challenged by former Miss America Heather French Henry. I expect to see both Lewis and Davis still in Congress in 2007. But it's interesting that even Republican House members from staunchly "red" districts face the prospect of tough battles for reelection in 2006.
