Incumbents facing 2010 primaries?

By Fester:

I like primaries.  I think they are an important accountability and responsiveness mechanism.  And right now it looks like 2010 will see an unusual number of incumbents facing the possibility of serious primary challenges.  I'm trying to figure out who else should be on the following chart of serious primary challenges:

Incumbent Chamber Part District Reason Likelihood
Burris Senate Dem Illinois anti-douchebaggery certain
Boyd House Dem FL-2 ideological certain
Gillibriand Senate Dem New York misfit for state highly likely
Cooper House Dem TN-5 ideological likely
Specter Senate GOP Pennsylvania ideological rumored
Bennet Senate Dem Colorado opportunity rumored
Rangel House Dem NY ethics unlikely


Who am I missing, especially on the GOP side of the equation?
