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?
